Poignant win as Mr Policeman lands Michael O'Sullivan Chase at Mallow

“It’s nice to win the race named after Mick, and Janna, who led him up, is a cousin of Mick’s,” said Slevin. “He was also Mick’s first winner for Willie, and he did it well.” 

20-4-25 Cork.

Willie Mullins was on the mark in Fairyhouse and, crucially to his chance of retaining the trainers’ championship in Britain, at Plumpton, and he also took the opportunity to land the Grade Three Michael O’Sullivan Chase as part of a treble in Cork.

Doubly represented in the five-runner feature in Mallow, his market leader, Asterion Forlonge, was still in there with every chance until unshipping his rider two from home. It likely mattered little to the result as Mullins’ Mister Policeman, ridden by JJ Slevin, had moved well in behind and was poised to pounce.
