TO general relief after all the rain, Taunton went ahead on Wednesday. That was the first ‘result’ for locals and the second came when Willie Mullins and Ruby Walsh landed the Listed totepool Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle with 10/11 favourite Myska.

Kept wide, Myska moved through to head Jessber’s Dream before the last and survived a mistake before pulling clear to score by five lengths.
