Bally Longford highlight of superb Lynch treble

The Willie Mullins-trained Bally Longford, in the colours of Alan and Ann Potts, justified 11/8 favouritism in the opener, prompting Mullins’ representative Gary Davies to comment: “He seemed to settle better today and won well. He jumps well and will make a nice chaser in time.”
Lynch struck again in the second division, despite losing his whip, on the Henry de Bromhead’s mare Goodoldhonkytonk, which foiled the Barry Geraghty-ridden favourite Thomond.
