Flat: Soft. Natinal Hunt: Good, good to yielding in places View all races

Formscan By Gary Carson - WARTIME LEADER is a fascinating runner on his first start for Willie Mullins. The Churchill gelding hasn’t been seen since finishing second on his debut, for Pat Doyle, in a Naas bumper back in January 2024. He was green when chasing home a classy sort in Shuttle Diplomacy that day. That horse was third in last season’s Champion Bumper. Emmet Mullins saddles two with Garahon looking the pick of his duo. The French-bred ran well when second in a Bellewstown bumper earlier in the month. That was a big step up on his debut run, at Punchestown in April 2024. Parnell Street, runner-up in a Fairyhouse bumper back in January, is another to note.
