FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Dual representation for both the Willie Mullins and John ‘Shark’ Hanlon yards here. Mullins stable jockey Paul Townend recently returned from injury, and it’s been a very fruitful comeback for the champion rider with a host of successes for his boss. STRATUM is another strong mount for the Cork native, and the classy Dansili gelding can make his second start over fences a winning one. The course winner is up in trip now, after a satisfactory beginning at this game last month. A third placing at this venue behind West Cork Wildway and The Bosses Oscar, ought to leave Stratum poised to go a couple of places better. Mormon, with his 125-rating, can play some sort of role, whilst the selection’s stable companion Cavallino has to bounce back after a fall. If doing so, prospects of a place in the frame await.
