Aughaloot poised to follow up

WILLIE MULLINS’ Aughaloor can land the nap in the opening INH stallion Owners’ EBF Novice Hurdle at Limerick this afternoon.

He made a winning debut over flights at Fairyhouse on New Year’s Day and can be expected to build on that promising start.

Mind you it is obviously disconcerting the form hasn’t been working out very well, with the second, third, fourth and fifth all getting beaten in the meantime.
