Danny Mullins recovered from his fall from Stroll On earlier, to land the Crowne Plaza Hotel Race & Stay Handicap, aboard Pepparpot for his mother Mag at Dundalk.

It's on to Doncaster now for Mullins, to ride Princess Leya, again for his mum, in the Grade 2 OLBG.com Mares' Hurdle tomorrow.

In this Crowne Plaza Hotel Race & Stay Handicap, Pepparpot renewed hostilities with Bomber Jackson who'd beaten him a head over the course and distance three weeks back.

On this occasion, Pepparpot was two pounds better off and he reversed the placings, just gaining the day by a short head, in an almost identical time.

"I thought it was fifty fifty there. It was closer than the last time.

"He's tough and he'll be very versatile for the summer-hurdling and chasing. He battled well there," reported Danny. (MG & EM)
