Verdict

Irish raider MULLINAREE is a bit more battle-hardened than last month’s Bangor runner-up The Kniphand and his rider’s claim means that he is competing on favourable terms with the four-year-olds. Copshill Lad was second in a point at Kirkistown in February and Milton Harris should find a race for him somewhere under Rules.
