THE stewards reversed a result at Punchestown on Tuesday, awarding a maiden hurdle to the Noel Meade-trained Nucky Johnson and demoting first-past-the-post The Big Doyen, trained by Peter Fahey.

The Big Doyen crossed the line a short head in front of Nucky Johnson but placings were revised when the stewards adjudged The Big Doyen guilty of causing interference close home.
