Verdict
Mullensgrove looks a worthy selection here with Storm Castle and Tictac possibly the ones most likely to give him the most to do. The sole course and distance winner in the line-up, the selection comes here on the back of a win at Bangor under today's rider and, with his confidence on a high, must surely go well again. Storm Castle has won under Rules and also comes here in god form following a pointing win, while Tictac, only an eight-year-old and already a jumping winner in France, has also won in the British pointing fields. A market move in his direction would be interesting. These appear to be the principals, with our vote going to Mullensgrove.
