TOTE ambassador Danny Mullins had plenty of good fortune on his side when partnering a double aboard Argento Boy and El Fabiolo, both trained by his uncle Willie, at this well-attended New Year’s Eve meeting where free entry for all was sponsored by the Tote.

The whole complexion of the Celebrating 175 Years At Punchestown Tote Beginners Chase changed at the fourth last fence where Argento Boy was left in front after stablemate Ballygunner Castle fell in front and brought down 6/5 favourite Slade Steel.
