Verdict
Willie Mullins had a trio of entries at the early stage and it's AU QUART DE TOUR who represents the stable. An odds-on chance for his debut between the flags at Dromahane in April, he was very impressive and the superbly bred five-year-old should have a big future. Cogryhill also started odds-on for his debut between the flags at Corbeagh House in November and duly obliged. He's another who was quickly snapped up by major owners and could be anything. Wes Hardin was a short-priced favourite for his racecourse debut at Down Royal just over a year ago but was well beaten in third though the form has worked out quite well. Paul Nolan's newcomer Tuzo is from a smart jumping family and is one to note for the future.
