Verdict

Stroll On By was heavily supported on his debut at Carlisle but couldn't hold Feel Like De Baune, who has been well beaten subsequently. Supreme Gift landed a point at Tattersalls Farm in May and has joined Henry Daley while Jungle Jack, a winner at Toomebridge in October last year, is now with the in-form Donald McCain. Clifton Bridge is related to several winners while Hourvari, a half-brother to a winning hurdler in France, catches the eye on breeding. Hunter Legend is bred to be a smart chaser but a speculative vote goes to THIRD STREET, from a yard in peak form and a half-brother to three winning hurdlers.
