Goodthynemilan gave Gordon Elliott fours winners on the day when sluicing through the heavy ground at Cork.

This brought up the trainer's treble in Cork with the other winner coming at Fairyhouse.

Denis O'Regan and Goodthynemilan tracked Mick the Jiver into the home straight before hitting the front, on the inner, at the third last.

The eight-year-old mare didn't come off the bridle as she readily asserted before the second last. A good jump there put the race to bed and she bounded away to score as she pleased by 12 lengths at 5/1. Battling Spirit (4/1) came home second, two lengths in front of 22/1 shot Letter Of Credit

Assistant trainer Davy Condon said: "She is always in the money and now she is going to be covered by Mount Nelson. We're hoping she can win another race before she retires and can now go back over fences."

Elliott's other winners in Cork were Park Paddocks and Moonlight Escape while Pallasator won the Grade Two novice hurdle at Fairyhouse.

Paddy Power make Gordon Elliott 4/7 favourite to land a first jumps title from Willie Mullins at 5/4.
