Danny Mullins rode a 34-1 double on Thursday’s card in Thurles, though the first leg may not have been greatly appreciated by punters as, riding Kappy Jy Pyke, he upset long, long odds-on favourite and stablemate Salvator Mundi in the Thurles Racecourse Beginners’ Chase.

It was meant to be a Thursday stroll for the 1-7 chance, but he held every chance and was outpointed late on by the winner. A good jump at the first sent the favourite to the front and he remained there for most of the journey.
