Dunguib adds to Bumper haul

Dunguib emulated last year's winner Cousin Vinny as he completed the Cheltenham-Punchestown Festival double in the Paddy Power Champion INH Flat Race on day two of the Punchestown Festival.

Philip Fenton's charge had run out a brilliant winner of the Champion Bumper at Prestbury Park and he was a similarly comfortable victor on this occasion.

The 9-10 favourite was cruising throughout and when he was given the signal to go on, he responded in excellent style to pull nine lengths clear.

Sweeps Hill finished second while pace-setter Luska Lad hung on for third.

Philip Fenton said afterwards: 'I was looking for excuses coming here but it turns out that he was in the same form as before Cheltenham.

'He had two weeks off after Cheltenham and soon put the weight back on that he lost there, and there were seven weeks between the two races.

'He is a superstar of a horse and is well able to jump. We have already schooled him and he will do plenty more before he makes an appearance.

'If all goes well and fits into place then I would love to take him back to Cheltenham for the two-mile novice - the Supreme Novices' Hurdle.'
