Mullins one, two at Perth Willie Mullins struck back in the race to be crowned this season's champion National Hunt trainer in Britain by saddling the first two home in the British Stallions Future Champions EBF "National Hunt" Novices' Hurdle at Perth. The Irish-based trainer held a commanding lead over Paul Nicholls prior to last weekend, but it has been one-way traffic since. Mullins was back in the game in Scotland and enjoyed a perfect result, with Up For Review leading home stable companion Nambour. Up For Review was the 5/1 outsider of four runners, having disappointed on his last couple of starts, but bounced back to form under a well-judged front-running ride from Paul Townend. Nambour was eight lengths back in second, with the pair adding 14,587 pounds to the Mullins pot. Mullins now trails Nicholls, who has two good chances at Taunton this evening, by 36,935 pounds.
