£140,000 purchase after winning Irish point last October and he produced a promising first effort in this sphere when third of 7 in 2m4f Cheltenham novice in October. Showed the benefit of that experience when justifying support at Ascot (…

£92,000 4-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding who was runner-up sole start in Irish points and went one better making Rules debut when winning 7-runner bumper at Ffos Las in January, powering clear in taking fashion. Failed to land the odds on h…

Kalkbrenner (G)
£120,000 buy after winning sole Irish point last December. Created a good impression when winning 12-runner maiden at Ffos Las (20f) on hurdling debut in October and better form in defeat when head second to re-opposing Klimt Madrik over C…

Klimt Madrik (G)
In the frame in a couple of points and confirmed the promise of his debut fourth to Kalkbrenner in maiden hurdle at Ffos Las when reversing the form with that rival over C&D a month ago, edging ahead close home. Sure to progress but 6 lb w…

Montemares (G)
Made a winning start to his career in Hereford maiden last month and supplemented that under a penalty in a Market Rasen novice upped to this trip 3 weeks ago. Should have more to offer but this is a difficult ask.

No Drama This End (G)

Starzand (G)
Wide-margin point winner who looked smart when following up in a Ffos Las bumper in March. Overcame inexperience to go in again on October's hurdles debut back at that venue and that form probably doesn't do him justice. Much more to come.

Tiptoptim (G)
£70,000 Irish point recruit who built on debut bumper promise when easily landing the odds in similar company at Newcastle in March. Shaped well when second on hurdles debut at Uttoxeter and didn't need to even match that form to land the …
