Patrick Mullins, who is chasing Jamie Codd for the amateurs' title, was on board when EARLY DOORS made a very impressive debut here in February and the fact that he's chosen to ride him again over his father's superbly-bred newcomer Hollowgraphic suggests he was as impressed as those watching. He can claw one back here though Gordon Elliott has a couple of very interesting newcomers to contend with. Rapid Escape was purchased by Gigginstown for £240,000 at the Cheltenham sales last month after a facile victory in a point at Tinahely a month earlier so big things will be expected of the son of Doyen. The same owners have Valdieu engaged though he looks much more of a staying type, a remark that also applies to Robert Tyner's Vision Des Flos. Stacks Mountain caught the eye with a promising run at Navan and will improve while Boot Camp's yard is in such outstanding form that he's respected.
