Mary Meehan started favourite on her debut for Willie Mullins at Galway but was soon done with after leading to the 2f mark. Better must have been expected but BELLA BLISS ran a fine race in what looked a stronger bumper at the same fixture and looks the one to beat. Filey Bay has had plenty of experience and also performed with credit at the Festival while Acleanpairofhooves came up against a smart Mullins'-trained winner here earlier this month when the remainder were well beaten. Hampton Falls has a smart pedigree and is one to note in the market.
