THREAD OF GOLD became the first Willie Mullins-trained 2-y-o debut winner since 2012 when readily accounting for his 13 rivals at the Curragh. He should have more to offer and can take this step up in class in his stride. Piazza San Marco appears to be the pick of the Ballydoyle trio ahead of Christmas Day and he is a much-respected main danger. Nil Bua Gan Dua and South Island should both have parts to play, too.
