FormscanBy John O'Riordan - FUTURE PROSPECT is a tentative selection in a race where trainer Willie Mullins holds a strong hand. An easy maiden hurdle winner at Naas in January, the Order Of St George mare failed to fire when pulled up at Cheltenham next time out. However, that was almost certainly not her true running and, she proved as much when fourth in a Grade 1 at the Fairyhouse Easter Festival recently. Stablemate Diamond Du Berlais made a winning debut for Mullins at Ludlow before finishing an excellent sixth in the Mares' Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham. A reproduction of that effort would make her hard to beat. A third Mullins representative Blue Velvet is also not without her chance in a tricky contest.
