John Cullen recorded his first success as a full-time trainer when landing yesterday’s feature race, the €36,000-to-the-winner Ladbrokes Island Handicap Hurdle with the game Misty Lady.

Odds-on favourites Bachasson, Long Dog and Fugi Mountain continued the rich vein of form being enjoyed by champion trainer Willie Mullins when recording a treble in Sligo yesterday.

Diakali should register his first win since November 2013 in the Grade 3 Kevin McManus Bookmaker Grimes Hurdle at Tipperary today.
