What gives Lultimatom genuine interest is where he comes from and who now has him. Before joining the yard, he won a point-to-point in Portrush for handler Pat Turley — an informal, cross-country style race run over fences that acts as a finishing school for young horses with jumping potential. Willie Mullins, who trains Lultimatom at his base in Muine Bheag, County Carlow, described that performance as him readily accounting for his rivals. That is trainer-speak for winning with something in hand, and Mullins is not a man who overstates things.
And Willie Mullins matters here, enormously. His yard has sent out 230 winners already this season alone. That is not a statistic — that is a production line. When an operation of that scale and quality decides a horse is worth their time, it tells you something. Mullins specifically said he was looking forward to getting Lultimatom going, which suggests a horse he views as a genuine prospect rather than a yard-filler. His recent form reads 2-2-5, meaning his two placing efforts came in his first two runs, with a fifth in his most recent outing — raced just one day ago, so still very much in the thick of things.
