MR MULLINER completed a hat-trick on summer ground last year and was having his first start since September when third at Hexham last month. This looks tricky but he's taken to concede weight all round. Tellthemnuttin comfortably landed a handicap here early last month and looked as though he'd completed a double on the track a fortnight later but was disqualified for interference. To compound matters he's up 3lb but has only had six starts over timber so there should be more to come. Overtures was beaten just over four lengths by the latter last month and the revised weights give him a real chance of turning the tables while Moorhill Lad produced easily his best run so far when runner-up to Spider Web at Tipperary, though he could probably do with some rain.
