Willie Mullins took the two graded races on a good card in Thurles and added a third winner when Aubrey McMahon rode his first winner over hurdles.

Allaho is sure to have pleased his trainer with the manner in which he made light of his task in the Horse & Jockey Hotel Chase. Certainly helped by the drop in grade and trip, he warmed to his task quite quickly and his rider, Paul Townend, was able to control the race most of the way.
