Verdict

Madmansgame went for 250,000gns after landing a maiden point at Boulta in December and Patrick is on board rather than take the ride on Klarc Kent, who had every chance at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day but will have learned from that. LANDRAKE couldn't get close to Facile Vega at Leopardstown but the winner went on to land a Grade 2 on a return visit and the runner-up won subsequently. Kiki Badger has had a change of ownership since a very promising third at Leopardstown while Golden De Coeur has improved with every run. From The Ashes is one to note in the market.
