FormscanBy Alan Magee - THE GUNNER YEATS may prove the pick of Willie Mullins’ three runners. The selection made all in a Dromahane point-to-point in November 2021 and the following month was purchased by current connections for 310,000 at Cheltenham. He didn’t reappear until third to the impressive Firefox in a Navan bumper last month and gets the nod over stablemate Feu Du Bresil who was pulled up after losing his action at Clonmel last month having previously shown some promise in maiden hurdles. Baltic Moon has obviously been difficult to train and has not been seen since sixth in a Limerick maiden hurdle nearly two years ago. Set Point won on the Flat for Hugo Palmer but dropped away in the straight on his hurdling debut at Fairyhouse last month. Goldwyn and Run For Harry are others to note.
