Verdict

This probably won't take much winning. Bobbythegangster was an easy winner on the point-to-point course at Fairyhouse in April when the ground was on the fast side while Free Stone Hill showed some potential at Navan in February and has the pedigree to go on to better things. Park Row is likely to improve from his initial run though this can go to a newcomer. Matchaway is bred to be a decent chaser and should come into his own when tackling fences but TOUCH A MILLION is bred for the Flat and made 130,000 Euros as a yearling. Something obviously went wrong and he was picked up for 3,500gns as a three-year-old but he's with the right man to overcome the problems and he can make a successful start.
