Up For Review and Open Eagle take flight for Willie Mullins double

The impressive hurdling debutant Up For Review and Open Eagle provided Willie Mullins and Ruby Walsh with a double in the maiden hurdle action at Fairyhouse yesterday.

Up For Review, in the familiar Wylie colours, was in front after the third flight in the Fairyhouse Membership 2016 Maiden Hurdle and, jumping fluently, always looked in command, staying on strongly up the straight to beat favourite Space Cadet by eight lengths.

“That was a nice performance,” declared Willie Mullins. “He gallops and jumps and is already crying out for a fence. He’s an out and out stayer and looks one of our better staying novices. He’s by Presenting and should handle better ground, but he wasn’t looking for it out there.”
