Willie Mullins launches a four-pronged assault as he bids to continue his dominance of the Coolmore Kew Gardens Irish EBF Mares Champion Hurdle at Punchestown. The champion trainer has saddled seven of the last 10 winners of Saturday's Grade One contest, with brilliant mares Annie Power and Benie Des Dieux both landing back-to-back renewals. This year's quartet is headed by Concertista, who was a beaten odds-on favourite at the Cheltenham Festival last month when touched off by Black Tears in the Mares' Hurdle.
