FormscanBy Dan McEvoy - PEAT SOUNDS (8) seems the obvious option given the way Willie and Patrick Mullins are operating together. This daughter of Hillstar is well-bred as a half-sister to Sizing Tennessee and Mount Ida. However, there is a question of whether she will be quick enough for this sharp course, as her siblings were dour stayers. Off the two point-to-point scorers, Tanga Mugi is preferred to Missouri Snow. The former was bought by Kevin McConnell for %A332,000 after winning at Necarne, which suggests she has plenty of speed. The Sea The Moon filly also still held every chance when falling on debut. Missouri Snow won at Oldcastle in a four-runner affair, so that form remains untried, although Harry Swann knows her well after riding her that day as well.
