HE’S On Fire (3/1 favourite) looks another potential star for Willie Mullins after powering clear to take the Paddy Kehoe Suspended Ceilings Novice Hurdle over two and a half miles.

Paul Townend’s mount quickened up smartly between the final two flights to post a facile 12-length success over Generous Risk in the Grade 2 contest. The French import is now two from two for Mullins, having begun his career in his native country with Yannick Fouin.
