Race preview

BALLYBURN could be another bumper winner for Willie Mullins. He looked smart when winning his sole point-to-point start at Loughanmore in October and there were a few winners who came out of that race subsequently. The runner-up Ossifer Hops was also a promising fourth in a Navan maiden hurdle last weekend. Quantum Storm makes his first start for Gordon Elliott and the Fame And Glory gelding is another interesting recruit from point-to-points having been narrowly denied on his only run 'between the flags'. Irish Panther has already been placed in a bumper, chasing home Fact To File at Leopardstown over Christmas, and he looks like an obvious one for the shortlist.
