FormscanBy Tom Weekes - French import RUMOROSO makes his Irish debut for Willie Mullins and connections have found an ideal starting point in a weak maiden. RUMOROSO was ninth on his only flat start in June 2018 before finishing second over hurdles at Bordeaux three months later, which was his last run. RUMOROSO has presumably met with setbacks along the way and while he also doesn't feature in any Cheltenham plans, can prove good enough to win this on his first run for 888 days. Summer Tide showed some useful enough form last year and while placed at this trip in a Punchestown bumper last September, did compete over longer trip on his latest starts. His form is nothing special but might prove second-best today. Golf Marin is a notable runner on his third hurdles start for Tony Martin. He showed mild promise when fifth on his latest start at Punchestown although might struggle to win today. Tennessee Titan, a E62,000 3yo purchase, is out of a winning dam whose half-sister won an Italian Oaks but is probably best watched on debut today.
