Verdict
The fact that Patrick Mullins does not partner either of his father's runners in order to ride Merlin Giant is a tip in itself and the Camelot gelding may well prove good enough after posting a pleasing debut when fourth at Punchestown for Emmet Mullins. Esperti is another to have shaped with distinct promise first time up, likewise Derracrin who looks best of the Willie Mullins pair unless the market speaks favourably of the debutant Le Nouveau. Bugs Moran and Helisone are newcomers to note but LEVEL NEVERENDING is another who put in a debut run suggesting he's more than capable of landing a fair bumper so he gets the nod.
