The name Willie Mullins puts fear into the bookmakers at this time of year, especially when he’s chasing the British Trainers’ Championship for the second successive season.. Adrian Wall has highlighted four Mullins horses to follow at Ayr on Saturday and they combine to form a tasty Lucky 15.
Please note prices are subject to change and will vary from bookmaker to bookmaker. You can back the Lucky 15 by adding straight to your betslip using the banner below.
Western Diego was seventh in the Champion Bumper two years ago and has won a bumper and a hurdle contest. Best run over fences yet when runner-up in a Punchestown novice over 2m in February. Mark of 134 could be lenient on his handicap debut.
Loughglynn is a Grade 2-winning hurdler who has posted three solid efforts in defeat since sent chasing this term, finishing runner-up to stablemate High Class Hero at Punchestown in February. Opening mark looks a lenient one, and if he handles slightly better ground, he’s a massive player.
Ethical Diamond was a good yardstick and winner on the Flat who placed in the Duke of Edinburgh handicap at Royal Ascot and bolted up in a 2m maiden hurdle at Punchestown in February before a solid fourth in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham last month. Sets the standard.
Olympic Man is next in the big one. Both wins for this yard have been at Naas, landing a 15-runner beginners’ over 2m4f there last time and looking in need of a good step up in trip. Will be ridden by Aintree Grand National victor Patrick Mullins and appeals most.
