Punchestown Race 6 - Goffs Defender Bumper
ALTESSE DU LUY (13) makes plenty of appeal on debut for Willie Mullins. Her pedigree suggests she can make an immediate impact. The choice of Patrick Mullins and market support would be significant. HUNTIN BOOTS (7) showed promise when runner-up at Gowran Park on debut and with time since that outing he may return improved. Warrants serious consideration. TACOGRAPH (19) is another Willie Mullins newcomer with obvious claims. She is expected to feature and cannot be ruled out. MASTERTOWN MISS (17) made a pleasing start when second at Clonmel. With natural progress she must be respected again. Impossible to discount.
