MIN WINS AT PUNCHESTOWN

MIN showed he’s still up for the fight when he made a winning return to action in the John Durkan Memorial Punchestown Chase yesterday.

Willie Mullins’ sevenyear-old was short of room approaching the second-last fence, but he answered Ruby Walsh’s call by bravely going through the tight gap to hit the front at the last.

Mullins said: “Ruby was maybe a bit bold there, but he had to do what he had to do.

”He jumped brilliantly and I was very pleased with that. I’m not looking to go up in trip with him.”
