FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - His cousin Hugh McOwan has been earning some rave reviews after riding three winners in bumpers in recent times, and young Charlie Mullins has his first racecourse ride here for his father and mother aboard It Could Be You. The youngster is already familiar to a wide audience after celebrating with his brother David at the number one spot following Rule The World’s heroics in the 2016 Grand National. Given his Mullins/Hughes parentage no doubt Charlie has a future in the saddle. This should be an informative heat, without perhaps appealing from a betting point of view. PURPLE MOUNTAIN might show the benefit of the experience she picked up when fifth at Punchestown on New Year’s Eve. Il Courra is a well-bred horse that showed ability in point-to-points. He could be a contender and something may emerge from among the ranks of the first-timers as well.
