Listowel Race 2 - Seamus Mulvaney Bookmaker Novice Hurdle

BARTHOLOMEW (3) ran a mighty race on his second start to be second in the G1 Four Year Old Champion Hurdle at Punchestown during the spring and is fit after a spin on the flat earlier this month. Hard to fault on form and sets a clear standard. COLUMBUS (2) remains unexposed jumping having won on his second start a Galway maiden hurdle. Hails from the best yard around and will be hard to beat. COSMOS D'AINAY (1) bids for a hat-trick after wins at Cork and Perth. Worth giving another chance now raised in standard. GOLDEN HANDSHAKE (4) got off the mark at the second attempt in this discipline and has a future.
