BANG BANG ROSIE was having her first start for Willie Mullins when landing a Punchestown bumper in taking fashion and looks to have been found a good opportunity on her hurdling bow, especially with her allowance. Falak won a Nottingham handicap for Roger Varian in the summer and will have needed his opening run for Gordon Elliott though the stable could have a better chance with Dortmund Park, a dual bumper winner in France and looking in need of the experience at Navan last month. Winning bumper Thermistocles led for a long way before fading when tackling this trip at Down Royal and should be much better for the run. Catwalk King ploughed through the mud to win a Cork bumper in the spring so conditions are in his favour.
