Cad can collect

WILLIE MULLINS’ Cadspeed can get off the mark at the third time of asking over flights in the Christmas Party Maiden Hurdle at Fairyhouse this afternoon.

An obvious worry is the fact some of Mullins’ inmates are reported to be coughing and his hot-pot, Quinola Des Obeaux, stopped to nothing at Navan last Saturday.

There is simply not enough evidence at the moment, however, to desert horses from this quarter and, hopefully, today will not mean having to pay to discover they are indeed collectively under the weather!
