IT’S not easy to knock Willmount. He has raced four times and he has won four times.

Winner of his only point-to-point when he was with Colin Bowe (he beat Shannon Royale into second place, and Shannon Royale beat Tullyhill in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown last month), he won his two bumpers for Neil Mulholland. On his seasonal debut last month, his first run for Nicky Henderson, he was impressive in winning a novices’ hurdle at Newbury.
