€17,500 3-y-o, Milan gelding. Closely related to 4 winners, including useful hurdler/smart chaser Finger Onthe Pulse, stayed 3m,. Dam fell sole start in point. Wears hood.
|
Thrice-raced maiden. 11/1, eighth of 11 in bumper at Kempton (16f, slow) 25 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip.
|
Cost £75,000 after winning Irish point and plenty of promise on Rules bow when runner-up in novice hurdle at Aintree (20f). Failed to progress next time but just about sets the standard.
|
Out of half-sister to Irish Grand National winner Lion Na Bearnai. Winning pointer who exceeded market expectations when close second at Fontwell and big player on that form.
|
Placed on last of 3 starts in Irish points (Nov 2019) and bought for £22,000 after.
|
€75,000 3-y-o, Fame And Glory gelding. Dam, maiden hurdler, half-sister to smart hurdler/high-class chaser Mr Mole. Well backed but looked none too keen in bumper at Doncaster. Headgear applied.
|
Salutino gelding. Dam unraced. Well held in bumpers 20 months apart.
|
Fair in bumpers and ran to a similar level sent hurdling after 13 months off when fourth in Newcastle maiden. Mixed record since and more needed.
|
Millenary gelding. Brother to fair chaser Corrigs, and half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Subtle Ben, stayed 3m. Third on sole completed start in points (Nov 2019).
|
€45,000 3-y-o, Kayf Tara gelding. Brother to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Two Swallows, and half-brother to 2 winners, including useful hurdler One For The Team. Wears tongue strap. One to note.
|
Modest in bumpers for Adam West. Off 12 months, offered something to work on when fourth on 2½m Fakenham hurdle debut for top stable but well held in jumpers bumper since.
|
Only mid-field in a couple of bumpers in October but stepped up on that when fourth on hurdles bow at Plumpton despite a few sloppy leaps. Entitled to learn from that and progress.
|
Superior Premium gelding. Half-brother to winning pointer Maxi's Lady. Dam unraced. Maiden pointer and well held in bumper at Warwick.

Docpickedme (15/8), Drakes Well (4/1), Enemenemynemo (4/1), Fontana Ellissi (7/1), Night In Manhattan (15/2), One Handsome Dude (9/1), Nashville Nipper (11/1), Roscoe Tara (18/1), Great Gable (18/1), Largy Mouth (22/1), Bennie Boy (66/1), Hello Buddy (200/1), Ach Captain (250/1), Willcollins (300/1)
Point-winner DRAKES WELL exceeded expectations on Rules debut when splitting a pair of winners in a novice at Fontwell and shades the vote over Docpickedme, who has also shown a similar level of form. Night In Manhattan is from a top yard and has a nice pedigree so is a newcomer to note.
