The 11/4 joint-favourite Naruto made all in the Beaufort Golf Club Ladies (Pro/Am) Flat Race to make it four winners from four runners on the card for Willie Mullins.

Jody Townend kept enough up her sleeve for the finish and the Champs Elysees gelding, third on debut at Thurles, stayed on well to beat Minella Mate by a length and three quarters.

Mullins, whose earlier winners were Absurde Saint Sam and Annamix said: “That fella will go straight over hurdles. He’s a nice big jumping type and will jump a fence in time.

“I think he likes a bit of nice ground.”
