A review of the feature action from Saturday's meeting at Down Royal including free video replays.
Skerry Hill was sent off at the prohibitive price of 2/13 favourite and made no mistake in the Lough Construction Maiden Hurdle.
Unbeaten in a point and two bumpers prior to today, Gordon Elliott has high hopes the five-year-old will develop into a leading novice, telling Racing TV: "We've got a lot of nice horses but I think this lad is very good.
"We went a fair gallop, Jack [Kennedy] said he felt like he was in second gear the whole way."
Elliott revealed that Skerry Hill could step up in class for the Grade 2 Royal Bond Novice Hurdle at Fairyhouse.
The Lisburn And Castlereagh City Council 3-Y-O Hurdle has some big names on its roll of honour, including Wodhooh and Quilixios and Admiral Will Brown (5/1) impressed in adding his name to the list.
Admiral Will Brown took up the lead approaching the second last and stretched clear in fine style under Josh Williamson to win by six and a half lengths from the Joseph O'Brien trained favourite Kenough.
A winner on the flat for trainer Paddy Magee in July, Admiral Will Brown looks a bright prospect for the season ahead.

Elliott went on to claim the Racing Post Chase with Kala Conti (5/6 favourite) whose task was made easier by the absence of both Break My Soul and Koktail Divin.
Kennedy opted to ride stablemate Jacob's Ladder but the market sided with Danny Gilligan's mount and proved spot on as he showed his rivals a clean pair of heels on the long, long run-in - with the two fences in the home straight dolled off due a low sun - to beat his stablemate by two lengths.
Elliott said: "Jack thought he worked better during the week but I'd say he took a bit of a blow, he looked bigger walking round the ring.
"Danny was clever on the one in front, he got the fractions right. She seems to be in great form, a different filly on good ground, she's no scope on soft ground, she can't even jump but nice to win a Grade 2 with her.
"I'd imagine she'd go down the mares' road, we'll try and plot where we go with her and I'd imagine Cheltenham will be the plan. The second could be more of a handicapper."
