Mullins' Review continues trainer's smart start
Up For Review

One can assume Willie Mullins already has his eyes on retaining this season's Trainers' Championship as, on a busy day for the 12-times Champion in deepest Killarney, he completed a double with Up For Review in the Killarney Outlook Publications Novice Chase.
Up For Review, under Danny Mullins, readily justified 1/2 favouritism in beating three rivals in his contest, when scoring a four and three parts of a length win over Wonderoftheworld
An hour and 40 minutes earlier, Mullins sent out no less than three runners in the Mares' Listed Hurdle, where his Stormy Ireland led home a 1-2-3- for the trainer.
It was Mullins' first visit to the venue in "three or four years" and he stated "I was taking a chance with some of my winter horses by bringing them down here on the ground and I just about got away with it with him.
“He's by Presenting though and they'd always go on a bit of nicer ground anyway and it was nice to get a nice novice chase out of him. I'm not sure we're going to do any more with him now as I don't think he's a Galway Plate sort.
"I think he will improve with another summer's grass under his belt."
Mullins currently leads the Trainers' Championship in the early stages and was recording his 13th winner of the new term with Up For Review.
