FormscanBy Gary Carson - STRUTTER is an interesting recruit for Willie Mullins. The Racinger gelding won a handicap hurdle for Nicky Henderson when last seen at Uttoxeter in May and is still relatively unexposed. There may be a bit to work with off his mark of 104. Optional Mix won this race off the same mark a couple of years ago and ran a solid race at Thurles last time. She could be the danger. Doyen For A Drink won on her first outing for Ger O'Leary before a decent effort over fences at Tramore. She's another for the shortlist.
