Hindsight is 20/20 vision, particularly in the great sport of horse racing, and had punters known that Willie Mullins felt prior to the McSweeney Brothers Maiden Hurdle that the long-absent Sea Of Sands could be a real player in the English Cesarewitch, he may well have gone off a lot shorter than 15-8 for this, his hurdling debut.
Ridden by son Patrick and carrying the colours of wife Jackie, he raced prominently from the outset, was in front a long way out, and won without having to have too much pressure applied.
