In depth

Verdict

Patrick Mullins rode a bumper winner for Henry De Bromhead at Gowran on Friday and Grand Jury represents the pair here after an impressive victory at Tortulla in November when Tommy Dillion was 14 lengths back in fourth. FAMEAFTERTHEGLORY landed a point at Mainstown in December after which he went for £100,000 at the sales. Connections can start recouping some of that layout here though Jalkadam has been thereabouts when coming to grief in both starts between the flags and represents powerful connections.
