WILLIE Mullins yet again turned a smart jumping mare into a stakes performer of substance and potential as Diamond Hill stretched her unbeaten run on the flat to three in the Listed Ardilaun Hotel Oyster Stakes.

Yet another Galway winner in the colours of Annette Mee, this daughter of Beat Hollow won a maiden hurdle at Ballybrit when last in action and, prior to that, she landed a two-mile Bellewstown handicap off a mark of 84. All this meant that she was taking quite a rise in class for this mile and a half assignment, but she made a seamless transition to this grade in very taking style.
