The Willie Mullins bandwagon rolls on and it will be a shock if MILSEAN is beaten on his hurdling debut. A winning point-to-pointer, he won two out of three in bumpers and gained a spectacular victory on testing ground at Limerick in March. Snow Falcon looks the main danger on his hurdling bow as he wasn't suited by a slow pace when beaten at Down Royal after landing a Fairyhouse bumper. Scorpion Wells wasn't beaten far in a Roscommon bumper in August and today's softer conditions should play more to his strengths while Space Cadet is a newcomer to keep an eye on in the market.
