Verdict
Sheila's Spirit and Storm Arcadio both ran better than expected here last time but don’t set a high standard. Any News may be the best of those with pointing experience but several newcomers catch the eye on breeding. Jonjo O’Neill’s Rabski cost €36,000 and is jumps bred. Go Pharisee Flyer is from a yard that do well in this sphere and he cost £40,000 as a half-brother to winning hurdler and chaser Darling Maltaix. REBEL REBELLO is a full brother to sound stayer Socksy. He has already had wind surgery but his yard can do little wrong this season and appears to have a good crop of bumper horses. Albert Hucklebuck could be another worth a market check.
