RACHAEL Blackmore narrowed the gap to just four (95-91) behind the sidelined Paul Townend in the jump jockeys’ championship when partnering a short-priced treble on the Henry de Bromhead-trained trio The Cathal Don, An Taibhse and Cavalry Master.

The Cathal Don set the ball rolling for Blackmore in the opening two-mile maiden hurdle with Richard Frayne’s Westerner gelding leading after two out and driven out on the run-in to hold fellow 6/5 joint-favourite The Greek by half a length.
