No stopping Lady after 5 in a row

Westerner Lady asserted with a good jump at the last to win a fifth race in succession in the Cheestrings Mares Novice Chase at Listowel.

Ruby Walsh 's mount, a 4/9 chance, made all and she was pushed out to assert from before the last, keeping on strongly to comfortably defeat Presenting Mahler by seven lengths.

"She jumped well and travelled well and did what she had to do and was entitled to do," said Walsh on Willie Mullins' charge.

"She has found the knack of winning - that's as soft as she has run on and you couldn't say she didn't go on it. I'll have a chat with Willie and see where we go next.

"She has a very good jump in her and was very professional."
