Whiteout produced a cracking performance from the front to land the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Champion Hurdle at Punchestown.
The 16-1 chance was much the lesser-fancied of Willie Mullins' duo behind favourite Limini, but after winning out the battle for the lead with Keppols Queen at the second last, she charged ahead under Paul Townend.
Limini scythed through the field to be the main danger approaching the last, but Whiteout had already flown, going on to score readily by four and three-quarter lengths.
Mullins felt a change in tactics had benefitedhttp://www.attheraces.com/results Whiteout and he believes she is capable of winning on the level too.
He said: "Paul gave her a game ride from the front. We decided to change tactics today and it paid off. She likes this track and jumped really well.
"I booked her to visit Shantou during the week. She is entered in the Chester Cup but won't go there now. I think there is a good flat handicap left in her though.
"Limini didn't jump well enough."
