FormscanBy Alan Magee - Patrick Mullins is a significant booking on WICKED PLEASURE and the Henry de Bromhead-trained filly gets the vote to make a winning debut. The daughter of Harzand is a full sister to recent hurdle winner Zanoosh and a half-sister to five other winners including the smart staying chaser Brave Eagle. Fastnet Crystal is another interesting newcomer from a top yard and is from the family of smart bumper performer Mono Man. Lennon Grove is one of the few with previous bumper experience and filled the runner-up spot here last time while Tountinna was only headed in the closing stages at Punchestown last month.
