In depth
Verdict
Tullyhill went for £220,000 after just getting up at Moira in October and has joined Willie Mullins. But that race hasn't worked out and WILL DO has been a bit unfortunate to come up against some smart winners so gets the nod. Vicky Victoria ran into an impressive winner here last month while Pass No Remarks was placed behind two subsequent winning hurdlers at Down Royal when last seen, though that was in 2021.
