Willie Mullins has won the last three and GLENS HARMONY was so impressive at Ballinrobe that she can keep up the sequence. Baby Twig started odds-on for her debut at Punchestown and came home in a canter but Jamie Codd, who rode her then, is now on board the stable's Three Swallowsnick whom he rode to victory at Wexford so that's a hint worth taking. Miss Eyecatcher completed a hat-trick of bumper victories before a moderate hurdling debut in a Down Royal Grade 3 while Jessica Harrington's pair Magic Of Light and Jelan are stepping up in class after maiden victories, though both are very progressive.
