HARTFORD comes from a family well-versed in bumpers and chasing, his half-siblings including smart performers Handstands and Kilconny Bridge. From a yard with a solid record in this sphere, he gets the vote on debut. Quiryn is a half-brother to useful jumper Trapista and represents another stable accomplished with bumpers.
