JP McManus paid £310,00 for Palmers Hill after he won a point-to-point in Ireland in March by 20 lengths. He looks a terrific prospect but the 2m trip here may be an insufficient test of stamina. WHO’S MY JOCKEY (NAP) is from the same family as the mighty Hurricane Fly. He made a winning start to his career in a Market Rasen bumper and may have too much speed for his likely market rivals. Stay In Touch is another who’ll probably need further in time but Aye Aye Charlie is worth a market check along with Ouro Branco.
