FormscanBy Alan Magee - Willie Mullins again holds a strong hand and MIRAZUR WEST may prove the pick of the Closutton trio. The Westerner full brother to Ferny Hollow has always been held in high regard and easily made all in a Naas bumper last spring. He’s raced very keenly on all three hurdle starts this term but still won easily over course and distance in January and was placed behind Fun Fun Fun in a Naas Grade 3 last time. Tounsivator won twice on the Flat in France and made a successful start over hurdles for current connections when overcoming a mistake at the last to beat Rainbow Trail (won since) in a 25-runner Naas maiden. Western Diego also made all in a maiden over course and distance while Angostura easily landed the odds at Gowran last time.
