Verdict
SPITALFIELD was sold for £65,000 after finishing runner-up in a bumper at Thurles and debuts for Jonjo O’Neill with a conditional’s allowance helping his cause. Duhallow Tommy returned to action with a third at Plumpton while both Townhill and Vendant have form in point-to-points. Tara's Light is a sister to a couple of winners over hurdles while Film D'action, Push The Button and Get With The Times are other newcomers to note.
