T: W P Mullins

Half-sister to Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Al Boum Photo; runner-up on Galway debut last season and returned to win at Sligo last summer (good) before returning to Galway at the festival when finishing a clear second to the smart Murat; absent again since but clearly goes well fresh and top amateur rider booked.

Half-sister to Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Al Boum Photo; runner-up on C&D debut last October (soft) and returned in fine shape to readily land 2m3f Sligo mares event in June on better ground; looks a smart sort in the making and Patrick Mullins prefers her to Doctor Steinberg.

J: Mr P W Mullins

T: W P Mullins

Half-sister to the Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Al Boum Photo; found one too good after being involved in a couple of bumping incidents when odds-on for a seven-runner Galway bumper on debut last October; winner scored on merit, but there was a 10l gap to the third who won her next start by a big margin; should be more mature now.

Form & Verdict
Finished a close third in a strong mares' bumper at Wexford on debut but produced a lesser effort at Cork next time; if resuming progress after her summer break then she won't be far away.

Wide margin winner of Limerick bumper in November; much improved on second attempt hurdling when clear second to a useful sort in Clonmel mares' event (soft) but has run poorly both starts since, found to have blood at both nostrils at Clonmel and (after 6 months' break) weakened tamely before last at Kilbeggan early this month; entitled to come on for latest but has questions to answer at this stage.

Good second behind prolific bumper performer Seo Linn on debut at Ballinrobe in August; stayed on well to finish fourth on hurdles debut at Roscommon; similar form back down in trip when 14l fifth behind El Cairos 56 days ago; step up in trip will suit and definite claims.
