Flynn bullish about Lip Pat Flynn is struggling to contain his enthusiasm as he prepares to saddle Louisville Lip in the Tote Pick Six Rollover Spring Juvenile Hurdle at Leopardstown on Sunday. The four-year-old remained a maiden in nine starts on the level but there was much to like about his successful debut over obstacles at Thurles last week. "He's going to be a seriously good horse and I told David Casey that before he ran at Thurles," said the trainer. "We were hopeful but there was Table Mountain in there, who cost 200,000 guineas, and the ex-Sir Michael Stoute horse (Maxim Gorky), so it was hard to be too confident. I was just thinking if he runs well it will be great, but then he flew home and won easily. "He has a big chance of running a serious race on Sunday and we're so looking forward to it. The Triumph Hurdle is definitely the aim, big time. "He's a proper Cheltenham horse and is the same height and weight as Montelado, who won the bumper and the Supreme Novices' Hurdle for us at Cheltenham. I think he'll be hard to beat."
