Mullins strikes again for Cooper on One Patrick Mullins enhanced a fine record when teaming up with trainer Tom Cooper as Oneinthewell stayed on best to land the concluding bumper at Leopardstown this afternoon. The Mastercraftsman gelding went to post a well-backed 9/4 favourite on his debut and showed a willing attitude after a good duel with Eternal Echo. He just edged ahead from that rival in the closing stages to secure a length success. The winner is out a half-sister to Altior and Cooper said afterwards:- “He’s very lazy at home but he’s worked well away a few times with some nice horses. He has ability alright; it’s just a matter of getting it out of him. “He has plenty left in the tank and doesn’t overexert himself.   “The nice ground helped him. He’s a Mastercraftsman and the dam is a sister to Altior so it’s a right page.   “We might look at the Listed race in Limerick.” The success moved Mullins on to five winners from 10 rides for Cooper.
