FormscanBy Gary Carson - Grade 1 winning hurdler ECHOES IN RAIN stands out here on her first outing on the Flat for Willie Mullins. She did win twice on the level in her native France before embarking on a jumps campaign in Ireland. Having won at the top level as a novice at Punchestown she performed admirably in open company last season and was last seen chasing home superstar Honeysuckle late last month. Rachael Blackmore takes the mount on her now and she could be well treated off a mark of 83. Mullins' other runner Berkshire Royal had some smart form over hurdles, without being in the same class as the selection. He won three times on the Flat in England and is also interesting switching codes. Stepping up in trip again should suit Moon Daisy, who did well to score over a mile-and-a-half at Dundalk last October. She could be place material.
