In depth
Verdict
There must have been something amiss with Dunbrovic at Cork in March after a promising opening effort at Navan. He can surely do better though Patrick Mullins, who has ridden him in both races to date, has chosen the newcomer THEWESTHOWAYA, a daughter of Fruits Of Love who is related to three winning bumpers. She may be good enough to make a successful start though the likes of Flycorn and Celtic Club have shown enough to suggest they can go well. King Malik made a promising start behind Its Ironic at Gowran and should have come on enough to make his presence felt.
