A Willie Mullins treble on Monday in Killarney included the featured Tote Killarney National Handicap Chase with the progressive Recite A Prayer, who carries the colours of John Turner and family.
A winner at Tramore on his chasing debut in October, he added a second at Wexford in April and posted a career-best effort when chasing home Donkey Years at the Punchestown festival. That run put him on a career-high 132 but he proved up to the mark with a doughty performance this time.
