FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Denis Hogan, Stuart Crawford and Henry de Bromhead are all two-handed here but Willie Mullins could provide the answer with MANITOPARK AA (now tried in a hood). These Anglo Arabians are apparently seen as a separate breed to thoroughbreds and are the result of various crosses between thoroughbred, Arabian and Anglo-Arabian horses. At least twelve and a half percent of the horse’s genetic make-up must be Arabian for it to carry the Aa appendage. None of this will matter much to those that had their fingers burned at odds of 5/6 on the Closutton mare at Navan on December 5th. As the price would suggest there was plenty of confidence about for the daughter of Walk In The Park then. She could only finish fifth, mainly behind geldings, when a couple of slight mistakes were no great help. Expect a different finishing effort, albeit over a longer trip, at this easier venue, solely against her own sex. Point-to-point winner Passion View is another that can go well.
