Hermine is a half-sister to three winners but Patrick Mullins takes over the reins on stable companion LEITRIM PARK, who was probably a shade too keen when failing to land the odds at Limerick in April. The latter also has a nice pedigree, though will be suited by hurdles and further in time. Six Ace, who ran green at Galway 12 days ago, and newcomer Wisteria Bloom represent Gordon Elliott so can’t be ignored.
