Willie Mullins' Saint Sam is very strong in the market for the extended 2m3f hurdle at 1.57pm.

He reverts back to hurdles after three runs in Grade One company over fences, the best of which resulted in a third place in the Irish Arkle at Leopardstown in February. He was a Grade 1 runner-up over flights in 2021.

This is his seasonal reappearance and the market is very positive as he trades around 7/4 from 7/2.

Mags Mullins' newcomer Armed And Fabulous has attracted plenty of support in the bumper.

My Racing Story. Don Browne

I was born and bred in Carrigtwohill, Co Cork and my father had point-to-pointers. He never trained, but he had horses in training. A thing I always wanted to do was train my own horse. I was about 21 before I sat on a racehorse. My father had a point-to-pointer and said to me to crack on and take a chance training him. I then bought a horse with my brother and trained it. She stayed racing, but was never much good. Cloneen Princess was my first winner in the millennium year at Carrigtwohill. She was a point-to-point winner for my father. I bought Cloneen Storm and he won for me as a five-year-old and a six-year-old. That fella won four point-to-points. After him, the licence went. I had another horse for my father, Cloneen Choice, and I took out the licence for him. He won three point-to-points and he came third in a hunters chase in Killarney in 2017.
