Fontaine can pass stiffest test to date

WILLIE MULLINS, fresh from another excellent afternoon at Downpatrick yesterday, can keep the momentum going with Quiscover Fontaine in the featured Grade 2 Michael Purcell Memorial Novice Hurdle at Thurles today.

The progressive gelding is seeking a four-timer, but this is easily his stiffest test to date.

Truth to tell he hasn’t been overly impressive in any of his successes to date, scrambling to narrow victories over Kandari at Gowran Park, Alpine Eagle at Limerick and Alice Bradys Call, also at Limerick.
