Cabaret Queen brings up across-the-card treble for Mullins First-reserve Cabaret Queen made the most of getting into the JT McNamara Ladbrokes Munster National Handicap Chase by routing the opposition. She was another winner off the front in Limerick and drew and jumped from fence to fence on this attritional ground. The seven-year-old King's Theatre mare was well clear at the business end and popped the last to come in unextended by 13 lengths at 8/1. Spider Web kept on to be a remote second at 14/1 for Tom Mullins who also supplied third home Oscar Knight who was gambled on from 20/1 in the morning to an SP of 9/1. Gwencily Berbas finished fourth for Eric McNamara at 20/1. Paul Townend said: "She jumped like a buck and it means a lot when you can do that around here. She improved again from Listowel and we are learning about her the whole time. "The ground was an unknown but she handled it well enough and I got it easy in front. "She was a good find and I won this race in the past with Treacle (2009)." This victory gave Willie Mullins and Townend a double on the card as Listen Dear also obliged in race three. Mullins had an across-the-card treble as Royal Illusion landed the Tote Irish Cesarewitch at the Curragh under Joe Sheridan. Additional reporting by Tom Weekes
