Sunday: LOST
Wednesday: Follow The Sign (NAP) WON 2/1

Tipping duties will resume at Downpatrick on Wednesday, meanwhile Willie Mullins declared himself “very happy” with Quevega after the history-seeking mare made a gentle appearance after racing at Leopardstown yesterday.
The nine-year-old is attempting to become the first horse since Golden Miller in the 1930s to win the same event at the Cheltenham Festival five times when she lines up for the David Nicholson OLBG Mares’ Hurdle. She is currently around 1.67 on BETDAQ for the race.
Quevega galloped with another long-term absentee, Fiveforthree, and two other stablemates.
“We just brought them for a day out really,” said Mullins.
“The intention was to just canter round for one circuit as they worked yesterday and will work again during the week.
“They’ve been off the course for a long time so we just did it to knock the fizz out of them really, Fiveforthree certainly was fresh.
“I was very happy with them but there was nothing informative, all it told us was that they are alive and kicking.
“Katie Walsh rode Quevega because she rides her at home and Davy Condon rode Fiveforthree.
