Sunday Runners: Shoes can show rivals a clean pair of heels

Willie Mullins gives his view on his Sunday runners

A fine big daughter of Flemensfirth, won a bumper over the course by 28 lengths and got off the mark over hurdles at Clonmel last month when beating Awayinthewest, who ran a good race in the mares' novice hurdle at Cheltenham on Thursday. She will enjoy the testing ground and trip. A chaser in the making, she looks to have a very good chance.

Has been let down by her jumping and has fallen three times over fences. It's going to be tough for her as Slowmotion looks to have an outstanding chance at the weights and we're just hoping our mare puts in a clear round and earns some black type.

After disappointing a few times she came good over fences when scoring by six lengths at Fairyhouse last month, and she makes her handicap debut in the 3m novice handicap chase. She's stepping up two furlongs in trip which we think will suit her and the testing conditions shouldn't be a problem. It looks a competitive contest, but she was good last time and if she can improve then she should be there or thereabouts.

Put in a good performance to win a maiden hurdle at Naas in January on his first start of the season. He has another three furlongs to cover this time and we think that will suit. He's improving and we're expecting a big run.

A seven–year-old by King's Theatre, makes a belated debut in the bumper. It's taken him a long time to mature but he seems to be in good form and we think the stiff track will suit.
