Bally Longford to go one place better in Bumper

If Navan today survives an 8am inspection then most interest will centre on whether Patrick Mullins can set a new record for winners by an amateur in a calendar year.

The record stands at 72, set by Billy Parkinson way back in 1915. Mullins too is on 72 and has to be long odds-on to finally break it, after being frustrated by the loss of Downpatrick on Wednesday.

His first of two rides is on Touch The Eden in the Christmas Novice Hurdle and you have to fancy the pair to do the business.
