Cuchulain’s Son poised to follow– up

THE progressive Willie Mullins-trained Cuchulains Son can land the Bumper at Listowel this af ternoon.

The five-year-old ran a smashing race when fourth to Mick The Man in a Grade 1 at the Punchestown Festival and then won well at Roscommon subsequently.

He came with a powerful surge in the straight to score going away by three and a half lengths and is fancied to prove too strong for Prince Roco, who caught the eye when finishing to good effect behind Presley at Navan.
