Mark Walsh celebrated his 900th career winner when Mullins’ Dinoblue repeated her success of 12 months ago in the Hanlon Concrete Irish EBF Glencarraig Lady Francis Flood Mares Chase.

The 2-5 favourite belted the third last but just as Townend attempted to make a challenge on Spindelberry, the JP McManus-owned Dinoblue scooted clear again to win by six and a half lengths.

Walsh said: “Starting out you just want to lose your claim and then when you lose your claim you want to ride big winners so to get 900 is brilliant.

“She was brilliant bar the third-last. She was meeting it a little wrong and she just came up and was brave but that was the only blip. She was great.

“She can do it from the front, from the back, two miles, two and a half, two-mile-six, she’s very versatile. She can win at any trip and she likes it here.

“She’s a joy. She’s so easy to ride.”
