THE confined cards, for riders who have not ridden more than 15 National Hunt winners in the 2024/2025 season, continue to get less familiar names on the scoresheet, and Willie Mullins’ treble on this programme saw three different jockeys help Closutton to the near 4/1 hat-trick.

On an afternoon when his uncle Rory secured a Navan victory aboard Step Back In Time, Sean Cleary-Farrell kept his boss Mullins happy, getting the Donald Galt-owned 10/11 shot Sysko home a length and a quarter to the good from Son Of Anarchy in the Ladbrokes ‘Get Rewarded With Ladbucks’ Maiden Hurdle.
