Big John Ollie (G)
€55,000 Poet's Word gelding who is probably a budding stayer but definite encouragement to glean from his debut third in a Ffos Las bumper (15.8f) in October, keeping on well to take that place dying strides. In top hands and there's undou…

Le Cold Grey (G)
€95,000 3-y-o, Cokoriko gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/17f hurdle winner in France Hardi du Mesnil and smart hurdler/very smart staying chaser Gaillard du Mesnil. Stable’s first-timers merit plenty of respect.
