Willie Mullins has introduced some smart bumpers recently and ITSONLYROCKNROLL could be another. The first foal of a winning hurdler, he looks to have been found a simple opportunity to make a successful start as none of those with experience have shown much. Duffgil Joe was beaten a long way on his debut at Downpatrick in August but attracted good support so must have been expected to do much better. Derek O'Connor's presence on board La Regle suggests the son of Doyen could have a future and he could run into a place while the market should be a guide to the chances of the remainder.
