Ruaille Buaille another impressive winner for team Mullins Danny and Willie Mullins teamed up to take the Follow Kilbeggan On Instagram Mares Hurdle as Ruaille Buaille took the 2m2f event in impressive fashion. The 5/6 favourite made smooth headway to breeze past the front-running The Getaway Star before the home turn and soon stretched clear. Danny Mullins could afford to take things easy on the run-in as she cruised home by ten lengths, with Ava Rose all of 26 lengths further back in third. Willie Mullins was represented by his son Patrick who said, “Her rating probably entitled her to win. We thought she was a bit unlucky in a good handicap in Fairyhouse and then disappointed on slower ground at Punchestown. “The return to good ground really saw her at her best today. “She should be competitive in all those mares’ hurdles and I’m sure we’ll try and find something for her in Galway. “She’s not very big so I’m not sure she would jump a fence and maybe she could go back for a Flat maiden. She’s not slow.”
