Verdict
No runner for Willie Mullins here but Patrick is on board My Mate Mozzie for Gavin Cromwell and his mount went for a massive £205,000 after landing a point at Tattersalls Farm in December. Bubbles In May made a bright debut at Ballinrobe but then ran poorly at Downpatrick. Gortmillish landed a Portrush point which hasn't worked out but did nothing wrong in a point-to-point bumper at Tipperary while Time Marches On was staying on behind an impressive well-backed winner when runner-up over this trip on the latter track. This doesn't look the toughest bumper ever run here and a chance is taken with STONE MAD, a son of Yeats and related to a couple of smart bumpers and jumpers. He cost a massive €185,000 and is out of a winning bumper so looks to have the credentials to make a successful debut under Derek O'Connor.
