Tiger leaves it late in bumper

Red Tiger was produced with a strong late run by Patrick Mullins to claim the concluding bumper at Listowel.

Aughnacurraveel kicked on turning for home in the two-and-a-half mile event and looked set to collect but 5/2 favourite Red Tiger really started to motor in the final furlong.

He got up in the closing stages to record a convincing two-and-a-half length win. Aughnacurraveel just held second by the narrowest of margins from the staying on Massinimoss .

"He has just improved recently", said winning trainer Willie Mullins afterwards.

"That's him finished with bumpers - he'll go hurdling and should make a nice staying novice over two-and-a-half plus.

"One of the owners Mike Krishnan travelled over from Qatar to see the horse run today."
