Rely on Our Monty

THERE may be 25 runners in the 2010 Five-Day Festival Handicap Hurdle at Punchestown this afternoon, but the contest is certain to house a warm favourite in the shape of Our Monty.

He had his first outing for Willie Mullins at Limerick on Sunday and scored with any amount in hand.

Mullins hardly ever runs horses back quickly and it is indeed a rare occurrence to see him producing one just three days after winning.
