KILLULTAGH VIC is unlikely to be much of a price on his hurdling debut but looks to have been found a winning opportunity. Twice a winner of Naas bumpers on heavy going early in the year, his two defeats came in the championship contests at Cheltenham and Punchestown and he ran respectably in both. Like the selection, The Mighty Milan is penalised for his success in bumpers but he's disappointed over hurdles after a promising start. The mare Fade In also carries extra for her bumper victory at Limerick but that was almost two years ago and she ran poorly when attempting hurding at Naas in February. Virtuoso Rouge went for £90,000 after landing a point-to-point but, after a very promising bumper debut, he proved a major disappointment on his two subsequent starts. Why Not Thistle could provide the main threat with her allowances as she began her career with two decent runs over hurdles before a couple of bumper runs where she lacked the pace to get competitive.
