Poli looks up to task

Don Poli gets the nap in the INH Stallion Owners’ EBF Maiden Hurdle, on a disappointing card at Thurles this afternoon.

He is clearly not one of the stars in Willie Mullins’ yard, but does seem to possess sufficient ability to land a modest contest such as this.

The selection was well beaten into second first time out in his native France, at Auteuil, but still went off at short odds on his reappearance at Navan in December.
