BLUE-BLOODED novice Davy Crockett continued a flawless start to his career with an emphatic win in the Seamus Mulvaney Bookmaker Novice Hurdle - booking his ticket for the Grade 2 Royal Bond Novice Hurdle at the Fairyhouse Winter Festival.

Already a Ballinrobe bumper and Galway Festival novice hurdle winner, the gelding out of legendary racemare Annie Power was sent off the 1/2 favourite to take advantage of a good opportunity for Paul Townend, Willie Mullins, J.P. McManus and Sue Magnier.
