AIRLIE BEACH is out of a mare who has produced winning bumpers with her first two offspring to race and Willie Mullins' mare can keep up the family tradition. Bertie Bell, a winning point-to-pointer, has done very well to finish runner-up in his last two bumper starts against strong opposition and looks the one to take advantage if the newcomer doesn't come up to scratch. Paddy Gunzales hasn't been beaten far in his recent races and the longer trip will definitely help while the four-year-old filly Lily Yeats has a very smart pedigree and is one to keep an eye on.
