Gentlemansgame went for €250,000 after landing a point at Curraghmore in October but was engaged in the 1.03 at Cork yesterday. Folcano put jumping problems behind him when landing a point at Tinahely and made a promising start over timber in what looked a strong Navan maiden. Gloire D'athon won a bumper in France then stayed on nicely over the minimum at Navan, suggesting this is more likely to be his trip but FLANKING MANEUVER easily landed a Downpatrick bumper and started a short-priced favourite for his hurdling debut over 2m at Navan and only found one too good. He's another who will enjoy the step up in trip and can go one better. Runrized won on the Flat in France but hasn't shown much yet for new connections.
