Patricks Park was touted for a win at Leopardstown on his first chase outing for the Mullins yard and didn't disappoint. Things didn't pan out for him next time at Fairyhouse but he goes up in trip now and remains open to doing much better. Blast Of Koeman has been very consistent and can continue to be just that in new headgear while Shanahan's Turn will be a danger to all if reproducing his recent Aintree effort. GOULANE CHOSEN did things well under this rider at Gowran Park last month and isn't to be harshly judged on his hurdles run since. If he can get into a good rhythm he can play a role at a decent price.
