Given Willie Mullins' record in bumpers, FRIENDS is automatically of interest and the hint should be taken if the market speaks in her favour. Ma Bess was a winner of her sole start between the flags and is probably the main danger following an encouraging Rules debut second in a Listowel bumper. I Am Shadow and Marvel Star are others to consider.
