Eagle Roque did nothing wrong at Naas where he was staying on at the finish though he could be up against some promising newcomers. Sizing Pottsie cost a massive E220,000 being the first foal of a Listed hurdles winner in France so plenty will be expected of him. Charles Byrnes has had plenty of bumper winners this season so The Big Galloper, a half-brother to two winners, is one to note in the market. REDFIELD is out of a superbly-bred mare who has produced a winner with her first foal so he could be the one though Gordon Elliott's pair Whoshotthesheriff, a half-brother to three winners and Another Katie, a half-sister to several winners, are both worthy of consideration.
