Kerb takes bumper in style Even-money favourite Kerb Appeal ran out a convincing winner of the bumper at Navan for Willie and Patrick Mullins. The Needle Gun gelding hit the front over a furlong from home and powered clear in the closing stages for a 17-length success. "He's improved nicely and I was surprised that he handled the ground so well," said Mullins senior. "He'll go for a maiden hurdle now. He's a nice staying type and will jump a fence in time. He was very free the last day."
