In any case, let’s ignore them all for the moment and nap Willie Mullins’ Glacial Moss in the Bunrower Bumper.

His latest effort was his best to date and the selection won’t have to step much on that to go close in this league.
At Punchestown ten days ago, Glacial Moss finished seven lengths second to the impressive, Anyportinastorm.
The gelding stayed on strongly through the final half mile, indicating there was better to come!
Tommy Stack’s Hollow Quail looks best in the Derrinstown Stud Apprentice Claiming Race. She proved a shock winner of a maiden at Listowel, on terrible ground, scoring by eight lengths.
The daughter of Entrepreneur showed that was no fluke next time, however, with a creditable fourth behind Tequise, previous winner, Dukestreet, and subsequent winner, Norborne Bandit, in a Navan handicap.
