1/5

Promising individual. Tongue strap on for 1st time, third of 11 in juvenile hurdle (9/1) at Compiegne (16.9f, heavy). Off 14 months ahead of this debut for Willie Mullins. Confidence behind him in the betting would look significant.

€78,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park mare. Half-sister to modest hurdler Shiroccoville. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/very smart chaser (barely stayed 3¼m) Lyreen Legend. One of 3 representing Henry de Bromhead and the market should be revealing.

Forecasts

Quais De Paris (1/5), Ellis Boyd Redding (5/1), Lets Go Champ (8/1), Atimetodream (10/1), Roccabaker (10/1), Birdie Or Bust (11/1), Out Of The Park (12/1), Ballycashin (20/1), Silver Gazette (25/1), Eikonix (50/1), Soldier Solid (80/1), Pearlofflorida (125/1), On My Bike (125/1), O Faolains Lass (150/1), Getabelle (150/1), Stalagmite (200/1), Duncarrig (250/1), Depeche Mo (250/1)

QUAIS DE PARIS is of obvious interest on debut for Willie Mullins having shaped well when third in a juvenile hurdle won by subsequent multiple Grade 3 chase winner Diamond Carl on his sole start in France last October. He is unlikely to be found wanting fitness-wise (yard usually has them ready following an absence) and the hint should be taken if this 5-y-o is strong in the betting. Atimetodream left her debut form well behind at Cork last time and is second choice ahead of Ellis Boyd Redding.
