Macho Man is a 4-year-old son of Ivanhoe out of L'Aumance Girl from the family of Fereo by Bulington. LTO on his racecourse debut, he won his 3-year-olds-only hurdle race by 5 lengths at 16/1 over 2m2f at Auteuil last October. He drops back here to a 4-year-olds-only hurdle race over 2m. He'll be ridden here by P. Townend for W.P. Mullins in the colours of Mrs. J. Donnelly. A win here would book his ticket to the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham in March. He carries a 5 lb penalty here. One for your horse tracker, and the stable is in top form.

Owning Flower is a 6-year-old daughter of Workforce out of Aunt Rosalie, thus a half-sister to Emancipator by Prince Flori. She makes her racecourse debut here in this mares' bumper, where she'll be ridden by Mr PW Mullins for his father, WP Mullins. Lto on her debut between the flags, she won at 10/1 at Ballycahane last March. That PTP has produced four winners from four runners. She's one for your horse tracker. With her stamina not in doubt, I think she may outstay her rivals here. I make her my Nap of the day.

Luciole des Bordes is a 4yr-old daughter of Jeu St. Eloi ex Baraka des Bordes from the family of Bonaparte Sizing by Voix du Nord. Lto on her racecourse debut she was unplaced at 25/1 beaten just 6l in a €60k bumper at Fairyhouse behind I'm Slippy 9/1 by Maxios last April. That bumper has produced four winners from two runners. She'll now be ridden by Mr PW Mullins for his father WP Mullins & in the colours of L McMahon in this 2m2f mares bumper. The stable won this race last season with Bambino Fever 5/2 by Jukebox Jury & she went on to win the Champions Bumper at Cheltenham last March. She's one for your horse tracker & with the stable in top form at the moment I expect her to win here. I make her my Nap of the day.

Looking For Eight is a 4-year-old son of Muhtathir out of Sainte des Bordes. He makes his racecourse debut here in this 2m2f bumper, where he'll be ridden by Mr. P. W. Mullins for his father, W. P. Mullins, and will carry the colours of Mrs. A. Turley. He's a half-brother to Sortudo by Authorized. He's one for your horse tracker. The stable is in top form at the moment. I make him my Nap of the day.

Laurets D'Estruval is a 4-year-old son of Saint des Saints out of Brise D'Estruval, thus a half-brother to Igloo D'Estruval by Bathyrhon. Lto on his hurdles debut, he was second at 4/1jf behind Lovely Guy (9/2) by Beaumec de Houelle in a 2m1f novice hurdle at Pau last December. That novice hurdle has produced six winners from two runners. He makes his Irish debut here in this 4-year-olds-only race over 2m, where he'll be ridden by S. O'Keeffe for W. P. Mullins and in the colours of Mrs. S. Ricci. With his French form in the book, I expect him to win here, and I make him my Nap of the day.
