HENS TOOTH has joined Willie Mullins after a comfortable victory between the flags at Belharbour and can get off to a winning start under Rules. Lough Owel was always travelling like a winner on the point-to-point course at Fairyhouse and the runner-up has subsequently won over hurdles. Gordon Elliott also runs Muhtaluza, who has plenty of Flat speed in his pedigree.
