Mullins/Walsh doubles up with Hampshire Express

Willie Mullins and Ruby Walsh recorded a double this afternoon after Hampshire Express landed the Saintfield Hurdle.

Walsh made all on the Dushyantor gelding, the pair were strongly pressed by Roi Du Mee approaching the last but were left clear after the latter made a bad mistake.

Patrick Mullins son of the winning trainer said afterwards: "He will be turned out again quickly as he doesn't much of a break."

"He will go for a conditions hurdle next rather than handicap hurdle."
