Verdict
San Frandisco won a maiden point in Ireland in March and the third has won since. BELOW THE RADAR failed to win in two point-to-points earlier this year but the son of Getaway is likely to fare better under Rules having joined Paul Nicholls. Highlands Legacy’s dam was a smart hurdler and chaser and he will have learned plenty from last month’s second at Ffos Las but the market may indicate what’s expected from newcomers Don‘t Wind Me Up and The Big Man.
