Willie Mullins has won all five runnings of the Grade 2 Daylesford Mares' Novices' Hurdle and he continued that streak with 9/2 shot Concertista's emphatic win in Thursday's contest.

Ridden by Daryl Jacob, Concertista cruised into contention in the home straight and sauntered to an emphatic 12-length success over stable companion Dolcita (9/1).

Mullins was recording a 15.5/1 double on the day following Min's victory in the Ryanair Chase and a third winner of the week.

The Closutton maestro now draws back level with Nicky Henderson as the all-time leading trainer at the Festival. Mullins' past winners in the race were Limini (2016), Let's Dance (2017), Laurina (2018) and Eglantine Du Seuil (2019).

Discussing the victory, Mullins said: "That was a good performance by Concertista. It's remarkable that was her actually her first victory for us ... what has the trainer been doing!

"She ran on very strongly and coming into the race, I wasn't sure the ground would suit, so I'm delighted with that performance.

"I forget we hadn't won a maiden with Concertista during her career with us, so it's nice to get off the mark in this event.

"We'll probably go to Fairyhouse with her next, but there are lots of options further down the line.

"She has a nice mark on the Flat so we might use that at some stage. Owners Simon Munir and Isaac Souede have a lot of runners in France so we could take her there. She is turning into the mare I thought we had bought at Deauville.

"Concertista was a very immature sort when we bought. I never dreamt she would grow into the big mare she is now. She is very strong and today's test of stamina bought out the best in her. She was very impressive visually."
