Mullins can double-up at Sligo
Deutschland will certainly be the better price and is napped to land the two and a half mile Belfry Hurdle.
After making no show at Cheltenham, the seven-year-old was very much back on song at Punchestown a week ago.
He contested a fiercely competitive handicap hurdle and ran a cracker to be second, beaten two lengths by stable companion, Dorset Square.
This is a lot easier and the selection gets a more than useful 10lbs from principal danger, Head Of The Posse.
Flat Out looks as close to a good thing as you can possibly get in the Irish Stallion Farms’ EBF Hurdle. He is taking a massive drop in class, having finished two and a half lengths runner-up behind Blackstairmountain in a Grade 1 at Punchestown.
Charlie Swan’s Second Glance looks the one to beat in the Smirnoff Mares’ Maiden Hurdle, having been beaten a neck by Special Token at Cork.
Curling, fourth behind Kerb Appeal over two miles at Navan, should relish stepping up in trip in the Join The 2010 Sligo Races Supporters’ Club Maiden Hurdle.
Feature event at Gowran Park tomorrow is the Listed Irish Stallion Farms’ EBF Victor McCalmont Memorial Stakes and this can fall to Dermot Weld’s top weight, Chinese White.
She was most progressive last season, winning three times in-a-row, and may have the legs on She’s Our Mark, who does have the advantage of two outings already this campaign.
Ger Lyons has made a sluggish start, but is fancied to provide the answer to the Gowran Park Classic Trial with Buy Back Bob.
He made a decent impression on the second of his two runs, scooting home three and a half lengths clear of Aidan O’Brien’s Bright Horizon at Dundalk in November.
Racing In Ireland this evening takes place at Kilbeggan and, quite frankly, the less said about it the better.
It really is the most dreadful stuff, with the hopeful nap vote falling on Headford Flyer, who had a pop over flights at Limerick at Christmas, in the second division of the Cornaher Maiden Hurdle.
He’s at the peak of his powers right now, having won a bumper at Clonmel and then finishing second to The Bull Hayes on the flat at Tipperary.
