Patrick Mullins: Four Willie Mullins-trained youngsters to follow

Age: 5.

Form: 111-

Displayed plenty of speed when winning on his point-to-point debut last year and created a big impression on his first start under rules at Punchestown where, despite pulling hard, he found plenty under pressure to win going away. Made it two from two for the Mullins team when scoring at the Punchestown Festival where he again took a keen hold, and has bundles of potential as a novice hurdler this season. He's also a full-brother to Noble Endeavor.

Age: 6.

Form: 1/122-

Has some of the best bumper form from last season next to his name having chased home A Dream To Share in the Future Stars Bumper at the Dublin Racing Festival, and in the Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival. This point-to-point winer rates a high-class prospect this season, and is the general 10-1 ante-post favourite for the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle.

Age: 5.

Form: 3/122-

Third on his sole start over hurdles in France, this five-year-old defeated Feronily, who won a Grade One over fences four months later, on his bumper debut for Willie Mullins before finishing second on his next two outings. It was a shade disappointing he suffered those defeats, but it's likely he bumped into two above-average rivals on both occasions, and he has bundles of potential.

Age: 5.

Form: 112-

Another point-to-point winner who impressed on his debut under rules and gave A Dream To Share plenty to think about when second behind that high-class rival in a Grade One bumper at the Punchestown Festival. He should take high rank in the novice hurdle division this season based upon the huge amount of potential he showed last season.
