Riven Light added to Willie Mullins' double at Bellewstown when justfiying odds of 1/5 under Pat Smullen in the Meadowview Stables Race at Tipperary.
Susannah and Rich Ricci own Riven Light, and indeed they also have one of the Closutton victors from the Hill of Crockafotha, Low Sun Mystic Theatre was the stable's other scorer up in County Meath, and here at Tipperary Riven Light asserted inside the last for a two and three parts of a length win over Aussie Valentine
Pat Smullen did the steering and he said: "He did it well and it was very straightforward and to be fair, he'd be a better horse in a better race.
"He idled when he hit the front but they couldn't lead him any longer and I didn't want to disappoint him off the turn.
"He is just an improving horse and when I rode him at the Curragh, I told Willie (Mullins) he didn't stay but I didn't think he'd come back that far (in trip).
"But he has got quicker and has plenty class."
