FormscanBy Michael Graham - Willie Mullins knows what is required to land this Listed novice hurdle having won three of the last four renewals, so it could pay to side with FAST BUCK. He absolutely cruised home when last seen winning by 10 lengths in a maiden hurdle at Listowel in June. It is debatable how much he beat there, but it is worth noting that this double winner on the Flat in France was runner-up to Fakir D'oudairies on his Irish debut at Cork in January (beaten by three and a half lengths). The latter has since won at Grade Two level and has twice been runner-up in Grade Ones. Fine Brunello was beaten 13 lengths into second by Fakir D'oudairies in that Grade Two at Cheltenham in January. Fine Brunello then finished out the back of the Grade Three juvenile handicap hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, when never travelling. He has been freshened up since then and could be dangerous albeit he looks to have a bit to find with Fast Buck on their form with Fakir D'oudairies. Turnpike Trip made a winning debut over flights in Cork and will have his supporters.
