11/10

Only narrowly denied on debut and went one better with a wide-margin success in 5-runner bumper at Tipperary (16.4f, soft, 2/1) in October. Looks to hold leading claims with more still to offer.

€24,000 3-y-o, Golden Horn horse. Half-brother to 1m-13f winner Roaring Gallagher. Dam, unraced, closely related to fairly useful hurdler (17f winner) Sawbuck. Has a fairly useful standard to aim at on debut.

11/4

Caravaggio gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including smart multiple bumper winner A Dream To Share, stays 19f, and fair hurdler Liberated Light, stays 2¼m. Makes plenty of appeal on paper.

Low Kick³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr H C Swan| T: G Elliott

3/1

Has shaped encouragingly both starts in bumpers, making first run since leaving Jack Teal when second to a useful prospect in 8-runner event at Navan (16f, heavy, 3/1) last month. Respected for yard with good record in this race.

Form: 3/3-2

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr F Maguire| T: P Fenton

12/1

Sent off at big odds (100/1) but showed ability when sixth of 20 in bumper at Punchestown (16f, good to soft) in May last year. Improvement required after 9 months off.

Austrian School mare. Half-sister to fair hurdler Must Meet Cecil. Dam, bumper/2m-2¼m hurdle winner, half-sister to fairly useful 2m hurdle winner Maxanisi. Tough ask on debut.

STATE PENSION confirmed the promise of his debut when scoring in dominant fashion at Tipperary in October and he can continue his progress to follow up. Low Kick has shown promise when placed in both of his bumpers and is feared most, while It's Good To Talk is a noteworthy newcomer.
