Verdict

Although modest enough on the Flat for trainer Michael O'Callahan it can be expected the MR NATURAL will be primed for his hurdling introduction on stable debut for the Willie Mullins yard. The Vale Of York gelding can see off the attentions of a parade of runners from J P McManus who has five in the race, including the Joseph O'Brien trained Air Supremacy and the more interesting newcomer Out Of The Blue, the mount of Barry Geraghty.
  1. Mr Natural
  2. Air Supremacy
  3. Out Of The Blue
