ON the breeding front, there was a win in Tuesday’s Grade 2 Maureen Mullins National Hunt Amateur Jockeys’ Novices’ Chase for the J.P. McManus-owned, Emmet Mullins-trained, Derek O’Connor-ridden Corbetts Cross.

The seven-year-old gelding, who has now won two chases, three hurdle races, a bumper and a point-to-point, is one of just two thoroughbred foals by Gamut out of the unraced Annagh Hill Lady. He was bred by Ballinasloe’s Gerry Murphy, who purchased his dam, a daughter of Amilynx, as a foal at Goresbridge for €450.
