Forpadydeplasterer turned the tables on Whatuthink, who beat him in December, and Cork All Star, to win the Grade One Deloitte Novice Hurdle at Leopradstown on Sunday.

Cork All Star, the Cheltenham Festival Bumper winner last year, was sent off the favourite, but his jumping let him down once more as Forpadydeplasterer took advantage, winning somewhat cosily by a length and a quarter.
