Though still showing signs of inexperience, AUTHORIZED ART (NAP) made a winning start for Willie Mullins when beating a subsequent winner at Punchestown in May. He looks a nice prospect and can get the better of Jessica Harrington’s pair Morosini and City Ballerina. The former won at Ballinrobe in the spring but Robbie Power rides the latter. Lethal Steps has won a Sligo maiden but has been generally disappointing while Tipperary scorer Rasiym will be required to take a further step forward. Winner Takes Itall has had a year off since showing promise on the Flat last summer but is one to note for future reference.
