Ian Smith Memorial (Pro/Am) Flat Race
2m
Going: Soft
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneWillie Mullins has produced some really smart sorts in bumpers this season and WHAT PATH is of obvious interest on his debut. The Coastal Path gelding is out of a half-sister to Grade 1-winning chaser Ungaro from a strong French family. Gordon Elliott saddles point-to-point winner Kansas City Star and he should be a big player. The Soldier Of Fortune gelding was left clear at the last when disputing at Loughrea on his sole start between the flags in October. He comes from a strong nursery in Colin Bowe's yard. Bellaney Lord ran a big race on his debut when going down by half a length to Champ Kiely at Limerick last May. That form looks solid with the third, Monishter Are Mwee, developing into a decent mare since. Stuart Crawford's charge runs for Simon Munir and Isaac Souede now and commands respect here.
