Highlighting a Willie Mullins newcomer in a bumper may not be terribly original but Ceol Rua is out of a useful NH mare and will almost certainly know her job. However, her pedigree is matched by that of Oscar Time's sister METRO STAR who represents a yard that excels in this type of race. The Presenting mare Molly Con is another debutante with potential, while Tramore third Definite Class is probably the pick of those with experience though Moncherie may be open to more improvement.
