Jody Townend was on board when Erica's Joy finished a close second at Sligo but Patrick Mullins has chosen to ride the stable's WEARAPINKRIBBON here. Odds-on for his debut at Roscommon, he looked in need of experience but finished the race off well and looks the one to beat. The combination of Emmet Mullins and Derek O'Connor should ensure plenty of support for Sin A Bhfuil, a half-brother to five winners including Listed bumper winner Charbel. John Oxx doesn't have many bumper horses and O'Carolan, a son of Sea The Stars, caught the eye at Roscommon while Sam's Choice may prove best of Gordon Elliott's duo. Velvet Elvis went for £95,000 after landing a point at Nenagh by 20 lengths.
