Evergreen Willie Mullins ace out On His Own

On His Own claimed a well-deserved return to winning ways with an emphatic success in the Grade 3 Imperial Call Chase yesterday afternoon at Cork.

Evergreen Willie Mullins ace out On His Own

The race reflected the market in the five-horse contest as only the 9-10 favourite and Roi Du Mee ever counted. David Casey was positive aboard the Willie Mullins-trained 11-year-old and, aside from a slow jump at the fifth, after which he conceded the lead temporarily, he controlled matters.

Roi Du Mee tried to draw alongside as they turned for home but, by this stage, Casey had begun to wind up the pace. Former Cheltenham Gold Cup runner-up On His Own jumped well in the straight and readily left his rival toiling, galloping clear to a 15-length victory.
