Neither of Willie Mullins' retained riders took part in post-racing schooling at Leopardstown this evening, with both Ruby Walsh and Paul Townend suffering the effects of earlier falls.

Walsh earlier endured two falls (from Matsukaze and Rupert Lamb but was otherwise ok while Townend was reported 'sore' following a heavy fall from King Of The Refs in the handicap chase.

In the session, Quevega was among the bigger names to impress while Bumper candidate Golantilla appeared a little laboured in his work.
