Crooked Tannie (4/1) was a facile winner of the four-year-old bumper under Patrick Mullins.

The multiple champion amateur made all and kept wide throughout on the Mount Nelson gelding who cruised home by 14 lengths from the 6/4 favourite Master Otis

Cian Collins trains the winner for Mr R Sherlock and said: "we've always thought a lot of him but things didn't work out great the first two runs. Patrick kept it simple today and he did it very easily.

"He is a big raw four-year-old and I'd say he'll grow into a nice horse next year. He is learning his job the whole time, I never really rushed him and Patrick was very happy with him and thinks he will develop into a nice horse.

"We're not sure what to do with him now but he might have a break and go over hurdles."
