FormscanBy Michael Graham - KARAFON looks the pick of the Willie Mullins runners on jockey bookings and was the subject of a favourable report from the trainer in a stable tour. The fact that this French import started his Irish career off with a fifth place in a Grade 2 juvenile hurdle at Leopardstown last Christmas shows the regard he is held in. Lady Rose Hackett is going the right way in three runs for Henry de Bromhead and a first-time hood is tried on her. Karamoja is another Mullins representative and this Masked Marvel filly ought to make an impact, while Sheer Raz is well worth a market check on track debut for Gavin Cromwell. Mullins' Funiculi Funicula lurks among the reserves and would be a contender if getting a run.
