FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Canvassing racing fans in recent days, and a commonly held hope is that KILCRUIT is as good as he looked at Leopardstown. We’re all keen to see the next big star coming through, and bred as he was by Mrs Maureen Mullins, there’s a great warmth to this story. By the late Stowaway, like Closutton’s major player Monkfish earlier, Kilcruit is named after Mrs Mullins’ home-place near Bagnenalstown. Now it could be that his recently moved in ‘neighbour,’ Sir Gerhard, will provide the biggest threat, and it’ll be fascinating to see how the pair move in the market. Keep the likes of Three Stripe Life in mind too.
