MYSTIC THEATRE completed a double between the flags for Colm McBratney before transferring to Willie Mullins and gaining a comfortable victory in a Fairyhouse bumper. This looks no tougher and she can go in again. One First Cut made an impressive debut at Thurles in December but couldn't handle the step-up to Listed company at Fairyhouse and was well beaten. Bluegrass Princess won at Tramore in August but that was on good ground and she's been well beaten when tackling these conditions. Gordon Elliott's four-year-old Heritage Quay is a full-sister to three winning jumpers so is one for the future.
