Alan Fleming has made an excellent start training for top owner Barry Connell and ZAHEER can keep up the good work. Although his sire Pivotal is much better known for Flat winners, he's the first foal of a mare from a very smart French jumping family and looks to have been found a good opportunity to make a successful debut. Satinspar is a half-brother to a winning miler and his dam is a sister to the brilliant Fantastic Light so he should have plenty of ability while Cock A Doodle Doo has a much more conventional jumping pedigree, though she may come into her own when tackling fences. Mulkear is a sister to a winning bumper and may do best of the remainder, though the market is always best watched in these races.
