AI Top 3 Picks
Doctor Du Mesnil (FR)
J: Paul Townend ยท T: W P Mullins
Represents the formidable Mullins/Townend combination, which is a significant advantage in Irish maiden hurdles. This horse is expected to be well-schooled and ready to perform on debut over hurdlesโฆ
Doctor Elvis (FR)
J: Danny Gilligan ยท T: G Elliott
Hails from the strong Gordon Elliott yard and has the benefit of a previous run over hurdles, which often brings improvement. This experience should make him a strong contender for a place.
Jeroboam Machin (FR)
J: Donagh Meyler ยท T: E Mullins
Trained by E. Mullins, who often brings on horses well, and with Donagh Meyler in the saddle, this horse could show significant improvement. He is a solid prospect to challenge for a minor placing.
