The Closutton maestro Willie Mullins has taken the Supreme Novices' Hurdle on no fewer than six previous occasions, including with Vautour (2014), Douvan (2015) and Klassical Dream (2019). He holds another strong hand numerically courtesy of ASTERION FORLONGE, Elixir D'Ainay and Berkshire Royal. The selection raced prominently throughout and wasn't at all troubled by the step up in class in the Grade 1 Chanelle Pharma Novices' at Leopardstown. While immensely respectful of the talented Nicky Henderson trio of Shishkin, Chantry House (and to a lesser degree Allart) the grey son of Coastal Path can hopefully maintain his unbeaten career record (4-4).
