Willie Mullins topped and tailed Tuesday’s Tramore card with odds-on stable debutants favourites Karniquet and Sortudo.
In a race which Mullins won with Gaelic Warrior in 2022, French import Karniquet, sent off the 4-5 favourite, made an impressive Irish debut in the opening 2025 Annual Badge At Tramore Maiden Hurdle, mastering market rival Downmemorylane on the long run-in (they jumped only four hurdles due to the low sun) to score by 11 lengths.
