Coul Dreamer¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-10| J: Ricky Doyle| T: W McCreery

13/2

Promising individual who made a winning jumps debut in 8-runner juvenile hurdle at Punchestown (15.5f, good to soft, 16/1) 16 days ago, unchallenged. Should have more to offer.

Form: 1

Messerschmitt³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-10| J: Donagh Meyler| T: N Meade| D

17/2

Twice-raced winner over hurdles. Fairly useful winner at 8f on flat. 3/1, won 17-runner juvenile hurdle at Galway (16.4f, good to soft) 36 days ago, readily. Trainer going well. Likely to improve and must enter calculations.

Form: U1

Naturally Nimble⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-10| J: R Deegan| T: J P O'Brien

33/1

Once-raced maiden over hurdles. Fairly useful winner at 10f on flat. 13/2, seventh of 21 in juvenile hurdle at Punchestown (16.7f, soft) on NH debut 8 days ago, not knocked about. Likely improver.

Form: 7

Space Warrior²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-10| J: Danny Mullins| T: T Mullins| CD

22/1

Fair maiden on the Flat who made winning start over hurdles when taking 12-runner juvenile hurdle at this course (16f, good) on NH debut 26 days ago, getting first run. This looks tougher, though.

Form: 1

Willy De Houelle²¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-10| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| D

1/4

Useful hurdler. Ex-French gelding who won on debut at Compeigne in March and built on that when 2½ lengths second of 8 in listed hurdle (33/10) at Auteuil (14.9f, soft) 7 months ago. Since joined Willie Mullins and holds strong claims on yard debut.

Form: 12-

Forecasts

Willy De Houelle (1/4), Coul Dreamer (13/2), Messerschmitt (17/2), Space Warrior (22/1), Naturally Nimble (33/1), Ceol Draiochta (100/1)

WILLY DE HOUELLE has joined Willie Mullins since his good second in listed company at Auteuil and looks the one to beat here. Coul Dreamer made a fine start over hurdles at Punchestown last month and looks the likeliest danger.
