Verdict

Willie Mullins won this last year and ALLEE GARDE will probably be a short price to emulate his stablemate though potential backers will need to forgive a very poor run when strongly fancied at Punchestown in April. An earlier debut on the same track had suggested there was much more to come and his latest run is too bad to be true. Savello was travelling like a winner for much of his debut effort at Sligo in May and though eventually fading to finish a close third it was a promising start and there's more to come. The French-bred Vindsval is related to several winners and made a promising debut behind Dylan Ross at Galway while Sword Of Destiny started favourite on his only start between the flags at Dromahane in April and this well-connected son of Shantou out of a winning bumper is one to keep an eye on.
