BRAHMA BULL went for €35,000, as a foal but five times that amount subsequently. He's the first foal of a winning bumper/hurdles performer and with his stable firing them in, can make a successful debut. Cluan Dara's form figures flatter him as he's been running in small fields, but Cornakill Rose made a reasonable start at Down Royal in May and Jamie Codd takes over. The remainder make little appeal.
