Belfast Banter landed a Newton Abbot bumper for Dan Skelton and made a very encouraging start for new connections in a big field of maiden hurdlers at Navan. Capilano Bridge attracted support at Naas and only just failed to hold off Rightplacerightime and looks certain to make further progress. THE LITTLE YANK won bumpers here and at Tipperary before making his debut in a Grade 3 hurdle at Limerick on Sunday where he ran very well for a long way. This is a big drop in class and he can gain his first victory over timber. Takarengo looks a threat as he ended the Flat campaign with two victories and made a very promising start over timber at Leopardstown last week where he didn't quite get the run of the race.
