Lads, save me scrolling back through this thread. Where has all the hype for power of pause originated from?

Power Of Pause mentioned by Patrick Mullins today in the video shared by KSS on the AP thread:
Interviewer: "Looking back here for Fairyhouse on Tuesday there's a horse with big interest, Power Of Pause, who won a 2 1/2 mile Punchestown P2P and he's now with your yard. The horse that finished 2nd to him and a well beaten 6L (Imperial Flem), he's recently won a bumper (sic) in Stratford for Evan Williams. How does he go, a nice horse?"
P.Mullins: "Yeah I actually rode him this morning, I like him a lot. He's a....(Son of Doyen?) yeah a speedy type of horse and not overly big, has a few gears. I know the day he won it was quite good ground I actually rode for Kate Harrington and pulled up with sore shins so he might be best seen on good ground (sic) possibly. But he has a few gears and I'm looking forward to seeing him out"
Good Time Johnny paid a big compliment to Risk Factor, Hamundarson and even Ramillies there. Reckon the collateral form will turn out strong and will be keeping an eye on future targets for all 4 of them.
Friend has a mate who works in the Mullins yard reckons PoP wont really appreciate the ground this weekend but they do like him.
I am on at 33/1 anyway
Yeah Paddy mentioned good ground in the interview SC posted.
Won’t be too disappointed if he crashes in deep ground and thr chance is presented to nail a bigger price next week...

Risk Factor had flown under my radar so had a bit of the 25s still with Hills.

Is the ground that bad at Thurles... doesn’t look like any significant rain over the weekend? Surely PoP has to win this if he’s going to turn out as good as many of us hope.

If he bombs Sunday he still needs to qualify though yeah?

Yes but plenty of opportunities to find another race to secure qualification though, as Morley Street suggests, to take his chance he would need to win/go close...

Thurles going is currently yielding to soft so not deep ground unless there is a deluge which isn't forecast
[I]"The form of Power Of Pause's point-to-point has worked out well and we're looking forward to getting the son of Doyen started in the bumper (4.20). He's a nice type and should like the ground.["/I]
From Willie Mullins' column in Saturday's Racing Post.
Mullins does do schooling bumper races doesn't he... the best of them wouldn't have floundered over to Market Rasen in my opinion. (She looked excellent visually but meh...)
He'll be unleashing his best ones soon, you'd think
