DAVID Mullins completed a Cork hat-trick aboard the Mouse Morris-trained Alpha Des Obeaux in the Grade 3 Paddy Power Track My Bet European Breeders Fund Novice Chase.

Last season's World Hurdle runner-up disappointed on his chasing debut at Tipperary at the start of last month, but bounced back with victory at Thurles and was the 9-10 favourite to follow up in this contest, with Tipperary winner Westerner Lady in opposition once more.
