Trainer Willie Mullins appears to have found an ideal opportunity for the daughter of Flemensfirth, THE WEST AWAITS to get off the mark at the third time of asking for connections. In the colours of Mrs John Magnier the five-year-old should have too much for the Gordon Elliott-trained Daphne Moon who is likely to be the biggest danger. Phillipa Sue, the mount of jockey Derek O'Connor appears to be an interest debutante for trainer John Kiely.
