If watching Willie Mullins-trained hot pots is your thing then Thurles is the place to be this afternoon.

Don Poli gets the nap in the INH Stallion Owners’ EBF Maiden Hurdle, on a disappointing card at Thurles this afternoon.

Noel Meade’s Texas Jack beat Baily Green to land the Grade 2 Kinloch Brae Chase at Thurles yesterday, but it was the third horse, Last Instalment, that was the real eye-catcher.

Paul Nolan’s Defy Logic, beautifully handled by Mark Walsh, landed the Grade 1 Racing Post Novice Chase at Leopardstown yesterday, after hot pot, Champagne Fever, blundered away his chance at the second last.

The dominance of Willie Mullins this season has, on a number of occasions, produced some rather uncompetitive racing and he is set to saddle three odds-on shots at Leopardstown on Stephen’s Day.
