Willie Mullins could hold the key to this. Aime Desjy easily won a Ballinrobe bumper in May and made a promising hurdling debut in what looked a strong Limerick maiden last month in which SHANBALLY KID finished just behind. The latter, a Clonmel bumper winner, was prominent throughout and only weakened in the closing stages after a couple of late mistakes. Tom Gibney is also double-handed with Hemlock, just beaten in a huge field of maidens here in February, likely to prove better than Junior Alliance at this stage. Found A Fifty went for £180,000 after landing a point at Boulta and was returning from a year off when runner-up in a bumper here in November. Monty's Star may prove best of the remainder.
