In depth
Verdict
A few of these are well connected including LAST QUARTER, a half-brother to two winning bumpers and out of a smart hurdler in France. Barry O'Neill can steer him home though General Medrano is out of a mare from a high-class family on the Flat. County Wexford-based handler Sean Doyle had a winner at Gowran on Friday when Solomn Grundy provided jockey Jamie Scanlan with his first success under Rules. The pair team up here with All The Ammunition, the first foal of a mare from the family of top bumper/jumper Bog Warrior. The stable also run Pay The Pilot, a half-brother to a winning bumper.
