Several of these arrive from the point-to-point field including Getabird, who ran out on his debut in March and profited from a last-fence departure when scoring at Largy the following month. He went for an incredible 200,000 euros at the sales later. Calino D'airy went for £150,000 after a narrow victory between the flags at Broughshane but Stowaway Forever could be the best of the trio having been a very impressive winner at Loughbrickland. Imperial Way, narrowly beaten at Sligo, and MR SHOWTIME, who just failed to give Hardline 7lb and a beating at Thurles, have strong bumper form and the latter looks the one to be on as the Thurles winner might have made a successful hurdling debut but for falling at the last. Jamie Codd's presence on board Love And Wishes suggests he's expected to go well.
