Forecasts
Tullyhill (6/5), No Flies On Him (4/1), Boldog (9/2), Jigoro (6/1), Westport Cove (8/1), Lombron (25/1), Saddle Her Up (125/1), Tina Meehan (200/1)
A very interesting listed hurdle. The only time the exciting TULLYHILL hasn't gone off at odds on was in a Grade 1 bumper at Punchestown last spring and he's taken to add to last month's comfortable Naas maiden success for the Willie Mullins team. There are other promising sorts in opposition, though, headed by No Flies On Him, who looked a smart prospect when making a winning start to his hurdle career at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting. Boldog and Jigoro are others with bright futures.
