WILLIE Mullins and Paul Townend dominated Thurles’ meeting last Sunday where the champion trainer and jockey bagged a treble, including the two featured graded races.

Mullins’ former Supreme Novices Hurdle winner Appreciate It (1/1 favourite) landed the Grade 2 Horse & Jockey Hotel Chase for the second consecutive year, as the grand 12-year-old veteran blitzed his rivals, scoring by 12 lengths and 11 lengths, from stablemates James Du Berlais and Gentleman De Mee.
