Verdict
Anything Emmet Mullins sends to the UK is greatly respected and he must believe FILEY BAY is on a lenient mark for his handicap debut despite a long lay-off. Placed in a couple of maidens in Ireland just over a year ago, he's likely to be a warm order here. Faron has the better form in Ireland having won in maiden/novice company for Joseph O'Brien but is only four and has to concede 12lb to the selection. Hurricane Ali has won four times on quick ground since March and wasn't beaten far at Wetherby despite making a bad mistake. El Borracho has had a superb career winning thirteen times over hurdles and fences and is on a 13lb lower mark than over the bigger obstacles. Fringill Dike completed a hat-trick of novice hurdle victories before finding soft ground against him on his handicap debut at Carlisle.
