Willie Mullins opened his doors to the media and here is a round-up of his comments on some of his leading contenders
To no one’s great surprise, the card at Catterick has failed to pass an inspection and the turf cards scheduled for Musselburgh and Market Rasen on Wednesday have also been abandoned. Chelmsford City, however, will race on the all-weather as planned, which means that with Lingfield also getting the go-ahead, racing will defy the Beast with a total of 13 races on Tuesday.
Jorvik Dancer (4.15) is probably the pick of the prices in the sprint handicap at Chelmsford City. He completed a swift hat-trick in late December and early January but remains fairly weighted on the pick of his recent form and is a fair bet at around 11-4. Carolinae (3.30) should also go well at Lingfield, but with the Cheltenham Festival now imminent, punters may well spend some time instead looking at the ante-post markets. Willie Mullins, the leading trainer at the Festival in four of the last five seasons, opened his doors to the media on Monday, and here is a round-up of his comments on some of his leading contenders.
