Jockey Danny Mullins with Kemboy and groom Ruth Dudfield after winning the Paddy Power Irish Gold Cup on day two of the Dublin Racing Festival at LeopardstownKemboy made every yard of the running to win the Paddy Power Irish Gold Cup at Leopardstown. Ridden by Danny Mullins, with Paul Townend preferring the claims of the unplaced Melon, Kemboy only briefly looked in danger on the run to the second last. Paddy Power cut the winner to 10-1 from 14s for the Gold Cup at Cheltenham. “I’m very pleased to win another Paddy Power Gold Cup.”Mullins admitted a switch back to smaller obstacles at Cheltenham remains a possibility, despite his victory. He added: “He’s entered in the Stayers’ Hurdle as well as the Gold Cup, as I’m just not sure if fences are his thing around Cheltenham.
