David Wachman has made a bright start to the campaign and Feathers And Bows ran in decent company in her first season. She starts off on what looks a fair mark and must be respected as must Seanie, who ran in pattern race company after scoring on soft ground at Fairyhouse. Chocolate Hills has her first start beyond the minimum trip but wasn't stopping in a Listed contest at Dundalk in October and looks the type to do well this year. Nini Ok went to Kempton for an easy success in a maiden auction and doesn't look badly treated but it's SLADE POWER who looks the one to be on as he made a very promising debut at the Curragh last May and didn't return to action until December where he comfortably landed a maiden.
