Lossiemouth 'fine' as Patrick Mullins adds Carlisle to list of tracks he has rode a winner

Patrick Mullins' tour of UK racetracks took him to Carlisle on Monday where More Coko cruised to victory in the Racing TV Novices’ Hurdle.

Mullins would love to tick off a winner at all 41 National Hunt venues but he still has some way to go, with the Cumbrian venue the 14th at which he has been successful.

While the leading amateur rider was without a winner himself at the Dublin Racing Festival, it was a successful two days for his father, with the likes of Galopin Des Champs, State Man, Majborough, Kopek Des Bordes, Final Demand and Bambino Fever highlighting their Cheltenham claims.
