Rely on Major Burns

RUBY WALSH and Willie Mullins, who have enjoyed a fine week, can team up to take the RFL Steel Hurdle at Punchestown this afternoon with Major Burns.

The progressive six-year-old will like the expected good ground and is fancied to cope with a couple of useful rivals, who have more experience than him.

The selection got off the mark over flights at Gowran Park ten days ago, staying on doggedly at the end of two and a half miles to beat Jakers by two and a half lengths.
