French import LOSSIEMOUTH looked pretty good when making a winning start for Willie Mullins at Fairyhouse, an effort that propelled her to the head of the ante-post Triumph Hurdle market, and she makes plenty of appeal with the distinct possibility of better to come. Stablemate Gala Marceau, 2-2 over hurdles in France, merits respect but bigger threats may be posed by Cougar and Nusret, both of whom are open to improvement, particularly the former.
