For The Staff who disappointed on his debut for Willie Mullins at Kilbeggan back on April 25th, vindicated the promise of his debut effort for James Barrett back in November at Downpatrick by landing the bumper by seventeen lengths under Patrick.

On outing number four, the son of Tamayaz led a furlong and a half out and the outcome was soon put beyond doubt in favour of the very easy to back 8/1 shot.

For owner Eamonn Duignan his association with Willie Mullins has reaped a rich reward with Fionnegas, Barker and Tawaagg others to triumph for the partnership.
