Dead-heat thriller in Leopardstown opener

Welcome winner for Rothwell and Enright

.That's fantastic. He did it the hard way today. They made a complete staying race of it today,.€ . €œI thought it was slow for the first two furlongs but when they disappeared round the bend and down the back they took off. So much so that he appeared not to be able to keep up.

Mullins lands treble with Outlander

He was beaten by a better horse at Limerick. We rode him differently today as he was a bit keen at Christmas, and we said we'd settle him in,. He's back on track to being the horse we thought he'd be as a triple bumper winner. I told Paul to ride him like a good horse. The Neptune would be my immediate thought. He seems to have plenty of toe, and in the Supreme Novice you need to stay. We'll see over the next few weeks.

He jumped slow at Punchestown and the time before but he jumped great today. I'd say the penny is only starting to drop with him. He had a year off and then was thrown in to novice chases. He could get an entry in the 2m5f novice handicap chase at the Cheltenham Festival but I will have to check with the owners first to see what they want to do.
