Mullaghwillin Boy was third in a maiden hurdle at Tipperary 11 days ago and may be improving but Dr Flynn has already had five starts over hurdles, though was placed on his last two starts in the spring. Capital Venture won a bumper at the track in April and has claims while Allow Me had some decent form when last seen, though has been on the sidelines for more than 18 months. CRUSHED ICE has only had the one run in bumpers but didn't fare too badly. However, he's bred to come into his own over timber and is started off at a lowly level in this - he gets the vote.
