Mullins dominates at Listowel with Easy Game winning yet again

Easy Game highlighted a Listowel four-timer for Willie Mullins as he easily accounted for stablemate Kemboy in the Kerry Group Chase.

The Closutton team had earlier been on the mark with Nikini (5-6 favourite), who is set for a step up in class following a taking success in the Kerry Group Irish EBF Mares Hurdle.
