Willie Mullins has won two of the last three and WHAT PATH makes his hurdling debut after landing a Galway bumper. The three who followed him home that day have all won subsequently so he's taken to see off the more experienced Run For Pat. Gordon Elliott's charge has had eight starts over timber without winning but led for a long way before headed at the last over 3m1f at Kilbeggan. Battle Of Mirbat is bred to be a staying chaser so he's done well to be placed in a couple of bumpers while Who's Houdini was staying on over 2m5f at Downpatrick last month.
