It was another disappointing day at Leopardstown for Minella Indo.

The Henry De Bromhead trained eight-year-old with Rachael Blackmore on board could only manage fourth in the Paddy Power Irish Gold Cup on Day Two of the Dublin Racing Festival, after going off the 13/8 odds on favourite.

The Willie Mullins trained Kemboy was guided to victory by his nephew Danny in the feature race of the day that was worth €200,000.

The nine-year-old went off at a starting price of 11/4.

Rachael Blackmore and Minella Indo hoped to put a fall at the same course in the Savills Chase over Christmas behind them but it wasn't to be and they came home behind Gordon Elliott's pair The Storyteller and Delta Work.

Elsewhere at Leopardstown on Sunday, the Gordan Elliot trained Quilixios won the first Grade One of the day - the Tattersalls Ireland Spring Juvenile Hurdle.

The four-year-old was guided to victory by Jack Kennedy after going off the 4/6 odds on favourite.

Meanwhile, the Grade One Chanelle Pharma Novice Hurdle was won by the Willie Mullins trained Appreciate It with Paul Townend on board.

He also went off the favourite - at a starting price of 1/3.

Mullins and Townend successfully teamed up as well to claim victory in the Grade One Flogas Novice Steeplechase with 1/2 odds on favourite Monkfish.
