The Raining Ladbrooks Stars Hurdle Champion at Panchetown Classical Dream (11/10) successfully defended his title this afternoon.
In the colors of Joan Coleman, Mount Paul Townend looked comfortable throughout the 3 mile event. Coming straight home, Cork Rider boosted his confidence on the previous 7-time winner. Once Closaton Priya was asked to take his step, he easily overtook long-time front-runners Gentleman’s Game and Rachel Blackmore.
Ashdale Bob (11/2) was ultimately the closest rival to the Classical Dream but a quarter of the length separated them in line. Brave Gentleman’s Game (10/1) remains in third place, one and a half more behind the runner-up.
For the third day in a row, the main highlight was Paul Townend-Willie Mullins, who has so far collected Grade 1 races at this year’s festival.

Fifteen-year-old Ballyboker Bridge Monge has won the Communications La Touch Cup cross country steeplechase for Kildar coach Peter Maher. Goldwell’s Bay Zeld son, who had previously won three of his 27 races and finished 13th, was retired by his handler after the race.
A special performance
Townend and Mullins reunited days later to successfully win another Grade 1 competition. Blue Lord (2 / 1f) lost to Cower Sublime (20/1) and Rachel Blackmore, claiming more than 2 miles of Barberstown Castle Nevis steeplechase. In death there was only one head to separate the two.
