BEACON Edge produced a performance in keeping with his position as the most high-profile runner on this card as he made a commanding return to the fray in the Randox Health Hurdle to headline a treble for the in-form Noel Meade.

The Gigginstown House Stud-owned gelding missed a couple of recent engagements but rewarded the patience of his connections with a display that bodes well for whatever direction he will take over the coming months.
