FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Subsequent winner Behana would surely have went by VALERIAN BRIDGE with a stronger ride in the finish at Cork back at the end of August. As it was the Heron Island made a winning debut at odds of twos on and he's obviously well-regarded as Patrick Mullins expressed a little disappointment that his mount hadn't achieved victory with a tad more ease. I'm pretty sure I also read good reports about Valerian Bridge during the winter in Willie Mullins' Racing Post column so it'll be disappointing if he can't beat this ordinary looking opposition. Valerian Bridge holds Bay Sly (gets another 7Ibs now) on Cork form whilst that one's stable companion Lady Warrior (well-related) has a lot to do on form. The Mullins camp have a good line on Turtle Daisy. Amron Kali gets a lot of weight so keep an eye on her in the market.
