Bull bounces back on return
That's grand to get it out of the way. He is a horse who was a little disappointing last season but has got a lot stronger this year and he might go chasing now. It's grand to get his head back in front as he had been disappointing last season. He'll be ok.
Mullins collects at Clonmel after 'chancing it' with Kemboy
I hadn't him declared at 10am yesterday and with the new HRI initiative of reopening races with a small amount of runners, he was the first one I've ever declared after 10am. I said we'd chance it and it worked out for us,. I was delighted with him because I didn't think he could be that straight and I wondered was I running him too quick before the Ladbrokes (Trophy, at Newbury). He was very fresh and very free and that was smart to do that today. I imagine he goes to the Ladbrokes now and I'm told he has a mandatory 4lbs penalty for winning this. I had Paul on the two chasers today and Ruby on the hurdlers, that's all, and with the big weekend ahead that was the only reason. Paul was good on this fellow before and I don't know if there is a queue to ride Camelia De Cotte (in the next)!. And Paul is going well in the Championship too so I'd be delighted to see him Champion again but who knows as it's an open year. Jason Morris, of HRI - his mother died so condolences to him and his family.

He is now the winner of two bumpers as the horse who beat him the last day (Mount Pelier, in Wexford) is going to be disqualified (as his rider Conor McNamara also held an apprentice jockeys' license). He's a grand horse and he'll go jumping hurdles now. He'll be a nice horse for the future.
