Tombstone (noseband, David Mullins up) gets the better of cousin Patrick on Potters Point© Photo Healy Racing
Gigginstown House Stud followed their one, two feat in the featured novice chase, when David Mullins got the better on his cousin, Patrick, with his mount Tombstone prevailing over hot-favourite, Potters Point in the Tipper Road (Pro-Am) INH Flat Race at Naas.
Three to one hope Wounded Warrior beat 6/4 market-leader, Rule The World in the Grade 2 Woodlands Park 100 Club Novice Chase earlier in the day, and in this bumper Tombstone (10/3) upstaged Potters Point (4/7).
Patrick Mullins may have had to switch out aboard Potters Point, to deliver his challenge to the sweet-travelling Gordon Elliott-trained Tombstone.
The record-breaking amateur also appeared to lose his whip aboard the runner-up, but his mount still looked a shade green and he never really looked likely to go and claim the Elliott runner, who had a length and a quarter in hand at the finish.
The 'maroon and white' pair (both sons of Robin Des Champs) left Emily's Flame seven lengths back in third.
David Mullins commented: "He travelled well, quickened up down the straight, and stayed on all the way to the line. I was very happy with him." (AM & EM)
