King makes it four for Mullins and Townend King Alexander quickened away in fine style to land a fabulous four-timer for Willie Mullins and Paul Townend at Gowran Park this afternoon. The 4/9 shot was to the fore throughout in the two-mile three contest. There was a slight scare three from home when he collided with Ballybow, who had moved up to dispute. Townend drove his mount into a lead going to the next fence and he responded well from the back of the last to record a cosy three length success over 40/1 stablemate Yoradreamer. The winner had been narrowly denied in a thrilling three-way finish here last month. "He had two good runs so we had experience, fitness and everything so I was able to go out and race prominently,” said Townend. “He has done it snugly enough, he enjoys jumping fences and he's a nice fun horse for his owner (John Neocleous)."
