Champion Jumps trainer Willie Mullins was responsible for two of the three runners in the concluding CKS Tickets (Q.R.) Race at Bellewstown today and while he wasn't represented by the favourite, did win with Lucky Bridle under his nephew David Mullins.

Both Gretzky and Marchese Marconi were absentees in the race and while Orgilgo Bay was sent to post the 5/6 favourite, was quickly beaten once headed by Lucky Bridle over a furlong out. Mullins kept the gelding going for a comfortable three and a quarter lengths win.

Trainer Mullins wasn't present but the winning jockey later stated “everything went straightforward but everything needs to go his way, so the small field helped a lot.”
