FormscanBy Michael Graham - GAELIC WARRIOR is very difficult to get away from although his price will reflect that. After a couple of placed runs in conditions hurdle races in his native France, he made his debut for Willie Mullins in the Grade 3 Boodles Juvenile Handicap Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in March. Despite jumping right, his engine saw him just pipped by a short head. He holds an entry in a Grade 1 novice hurdle at Leopardstown over Christmas which shows the regard he is held in. Timmy Tuesday hung badly left in Punchestown, but is better judged on a third place at Cork on his penultimate start. Littel Flour raced prominently for a long way before coming in third in a first-time tongue-strap at Galway in October. She has ability as she was beaten by a neck in a Down Royal bumper last year. Ifiwerearichman led throughout in Clonmel before dropping to third which wasn't a bad effort.
