DANNY Mullins made all on the Paul Hennessy-trained Ocean Of Mercy (6/5f) to win the Connolly’s Red Mills Irish EBF Auction Maiden Hurdle at Ballinrobe on Monday. Off the track for over two and a half years prior to finishing fourth at Limerick in May, the Turner family’s nine-year-old asserted from two out to score easily by 13 lengths.

Mullins said: “The form he had shown before his break would have been good enough to win this, but it was nonetheless a good performance to go out, jump well and put it to bed nicely.
