If ever the phrase ridiculously easily was called for it could hardly fit better as a description of The Paparrazi Kid s win in the Athlumney INH Flat Race at Navan.

Patrick Mullins knew what he was sitting on as he waited and waited on the heavily-backed favourite (4/9 into 30/100). Without being asked for any effort, the Milan gelding stretched on from the furlong pole to beat Clash Of Kings by fifteen lengths.

Willie Mullins trains the full-brother to Saturday's winner Rourke's Cross for Byerley Thoroughbred Racing and he said: "That was very pleasing – he may even be better than I thought he was.

"He probably won't go hurdling this season. We'll probably keep him at this game."
