Ruaille Buaille seals brace for Mullins

Ruaille Buaille was the facile winner of the concluding bumper in Tramore to bookend the card for Willie Mullins.

The five-year-old mare tanked into contention for Patrick Mullins on the outer approaching the final quarter of a mile.

She eased into the lead passing the two marker and readily drew clear by the final furlong.

The 10/11 favourite strode right away by an unextended 13 lengths. Not What It Seems (3/1) won the race for second by a length and a half from She's A Cracker (16/1).

Patrick Mullins said: "She was much more relaxed in the parade ring today. I think she came on for her run last month, she was one of our first ones to run.

"The strong gallop suited her today. She is out of the Hidden Cyclone pedigree.

"Tom Nugent is the man who heads the syndicate and he has the mare. Tom is a friend of mine from school, he is a good fella and I think they'll have a bit more fun with this one.

"There is a couple of mares' winners' bumpers coming up but we might just go straight hurdling with her while the ground is nice. We'll see, I'm not sure she is a real heavy-ground filly."

Mullins also took the opener on the card - the EY Chase with Easy Game (2/9f).
