Willie Mullins boasts a better than one in three strike rate with his bumper runners at Clonmel and ANDERSON MCAULEY should enhance that record. Placed in three of his four starts to date and sent off favourite in the other, the Blueprint gelding's form looks to be head and shoulders above that of the majority of today's rivals. The one exception is possibly former pointer Presenting Nama, who found only Coronea Lilly too good on her debut under rules at Galway and is entitled to improve. Littletown Lass disappointed at Wexford last time and it will be a surprise if she's good enough to trouble the principals here.
