Burke off the mark for Mullins in Land Rover

Though Patrick Mullins was on the disappointing favourite – Nicky Henderson's Native Display (15/8, second last) – the very talented Johnny Burke's seven pound claim doubtless came in handy as Willie Mullins' Very Much So (12/1) triumphed in the Goffs Land Rover Bumper at Punchestown. Tue 29th Apr

After race at Punchestown Tue, 29th Apr, 2014 (1st)

We were hoping for the best. I thought he might improve and run on but I didn't think he would do that. That's the first bit of work he's ever won . he's just green. We had him away the other morning for a gallop and he bucked off David Casey. He's green and immature. I gave about double (12K) what I wanted to give for him at the sales. He's a half-brother to Jessies Dream. It looks good now and I only sold him there lately. Johnny rides out for us during the holidays and anytime he has a spare moment he comes in during the week. I'd imagine that's his first winner for me . I don't think he's ridden a winner for me before.
