Mafi has disappointed since a fine run at Cork in May and is tried in blinkers for the first time. MULLINGAR stepped up to this trip at Limerick and caught the eye with a staying-on effort behind Roman Flight. He's likely to improve again and earns the vote ahead of Hudson, who attempted to make all at Roscommon but found soft conditions against him. Baitsileir was well beaten on soft ground at Limerick in April but should have learned plenty and this won't take much winning.
