Vinny should have it easy

COUSIN VINNY should enjoy little more than a good school, as he continues his build-up to Cheltenham in the EBF Irish Racing Writers’ Novice Hurdle at Naas this afternoon.

Willie Mullins has certainly found an easy touch for his Celtenham bumper hero winner and it will be a major surprise should he meet defeat.

The six-year-old made his debut over flights when third behind Hurricane Fly in a Grade 1 at Fairyhouse and then enjoyed an emphatic success in maiden company at Leopardstown at Christmas.
