HAMMER THE HAMMER clearly impressed at the breeze-ups for his sales price to rise markedly to €200,000, so a successful debut could well be on the cards for a yard going well with its juveniles. Chancellor makes obvious appeal on paper and strong market support for him would put a slightly different slant on matters, while others to note are standard-setter Reposado and Springbok.
