FormscanBy Mark Nunan - The welfare-conscious watering of tracks during this warm spell of weather has enabled Willie Mullins to keep a lot of horses on the go and his early season strike-rate is frightening for rival trainers. From a good French jumping family, CHRISCO was beaten at odds-on in two bumpers but ran into some useful types and has been found a winnable race for his hurdling debut. The strength of market support for him in the past is surely significant. Point-to-point winner Lisnamult Lad was second in a Kelso bumper in April and now goes hurdling. He hung badly left at Killarney last time which is a concern. The similarly-rated Sixhandsinmypocket and Turkestan have plenty of experience and can contend for minor honours.%0A%0A
