Make Your Mark: Suited by the race conditions

Willie Mullins believes that the race conditions in the Synergy Security Solutions Novice Hurdle at Leopardstown could favour Make Your Mark when he tackles stable companion Boston Bob.

Boston Bob has won his first two starts over hurdles and was an impressive winner of the Grade One Navan Novice Hurdle last month.

Make Your Mark has yet to be tested at that level, but gets plenty of weight from his stablemate and looked the real deal when making a winning debut over timber over Sunday's course and distance.

"Boston Bob has to give 10lb to Make Your Mark, which is a huge allowance," said Mullins.

"Cheltenham is definitely on the agenda for Boston Bob at the moment and we'll see where Make Your Mark stands in the ratings after this.

"Make Your Mark certainly shows more on the racetrack than he does at home."
