FormscanBy Alan Magee - Willie Mullins wasted no time opening his account at the start of the four-day Festival meeting here on Thursday, and COOL COLONNADE looks another winner for the Closutton maestro. The selection won twice over fences last year and has shaped well in two outings since reverting to the Flat this year off a lowly mark. He kept on in third behind better-fancied stablemate Eight And Bob at Galway last time and this represents a drop in class. Molly Kaye won this 12 months ago off a similar mark and should be spot on for a repeat bid after staying on nicely at Killarney last month. Aa Bee See went down narrowly to Jake Peter in this corresponding race two years ago and has been very lightly raced since on the Flat, while Jaime Sommers landed a maiden over course and distance last year.
