Race Tip

The biggest week of the year for jumping begins with a likely Irish domination in the Supreme. TULLYHILL (12) got off the mark at Naas on second hurdle outing prior to a 9L victory in a 2m Listed Novice Hurdle at Punchestown. Represents leading connections and rates a major player. FIREFOX (3) won at Fairyhouse before a fair fourth attempting the 2m4f G1 Lawlor's of Naas Novice Hurdle at Naas. Back down in trip and rates a main danger. MYSTICAL POWER (8) holds an unbeaten record to date following a 7L success in the 2m1f G2 Moscow Flyer Novice Hurdle at Punchestown during January. Big chance. SLADE STEEL (9) was a Navan G2 Novice Hurdle winner over 2m4f before a runner-up effort in this grade at Leopardstown. Not to be dismissed.
