Verdict
It would be no surprise if CULLDOO was good enough to make a winning start for Willie Mullins. The Doctor Dino filly is out of a half-sister to Precious Metal, a Listed bumper winner for Henrietta Knight. Kisuton Enki may be the pick of those with form. Gordon Elliott's mare was runner-up in a Limerick maiden hurdle last month, chasing home the 112-rated Fly Away Home. Jo's Secret has some solid placed form, including when third at Fairyhouse early last month, and has to come into calculations.
Expert View Verdict
A couple of these make appeal coming back from hurdling but it's the Willie Mullins-trained newcomer CULLDOO who appeals most. The yard excels in these races and this one can strike under Patrick Mullins. Kisuton Enki looks the main threat, having been much improved over hurdles last time, although Jo's Secret is consistent and can't be ruled out either.
