Verdict
Built By Ballymore has changed stables since an excellent debut in a very strong Punchestown maiden in April. Winning bumper Deep Cave came up against a subsequent winner on the latter track last month while Firm Footings finished runner-up in a huge field at Navan though was beaten 12 lengths. Tony Martin saddles two winning point-to-pointers in Port Nelson and Kilballyowen while LOT OF JOY, placed in the Irish Cesarewitch, chased home a subsequent winner over a trip too short on her hurdling debut and can take this for Willie Mullins, who also saddles an interesting newcomer in Ho My Lord, a winner on the Flat in France just over a year ago.
