FormscanBy Gary Carson - Willie Mullins won the opening race on Wednesday with another smart Flat performer, in Mr Hollywood, and COLUMBUS may be able to follow suit. The Oasis Dream gelding was a place in front of his stablemate when runner-up on his hurdling debut at Killarney in May. He should have learned plenty from that and the Group 3 winner could prove a class act now. Another smart Flat performer, Eastwatch, makes his hurdling debut here and is one to note in the market. Young Rebel also goes jumping now having been bought by JP McManus after a bumper win at Fairyhouse last November. He’s another to note on his first outing for Emmet Mullins.
A hurdle for four years old and upwards, maidens at startingWeights - 4-y-o 11st 9lbs 5-y-o and up 11st 12lbs. Mares allowed 7lbs.
