Verdict
Gold Bullet makes his hurdling debut but has shown enough in bumpers to suggest he should do well while Mullaghanoe River, a winner between the flags and of a Leopardstown bumper, made a perfectly satisfactory hurdling debut in what looked a strong maiden there last month. Appletime and Clar Na Mionn have both shown ability over timber and Totally Couture looked very promising on his debut over hurdles here in December but didn't quite run up to that form at Down Royal three weeks later. PERFECT GENTLEMAN hasn't quite done as well as expected over timber so far but he's been given a break and with today's longer trip certain to suit he's expected to provide the Mullins family with another winner.
