Tower crowns great week for Mullins

Danny Mullins crowned a hugely successful week by completing a fine double on Gitane Du Berlais and Martello Tower on the final day of Limerick’s Christmas meeting, bringing his tally for the week to five winners

and ironically, the highlight of his brace was provided by Martello Tower, trained by his mother Mags for his former boss Barry Connell.

Just three horses contested the Grade 3 Cliona’s Foundation Novice Hurdle, two of them representing Gigginstown House Stud and Willie Mullins.
