Halling's Treasure is proving himself a useful addition to Gordon Elliott's team and will be winning soon after three very good runs in similar company. Space Ship, a winner on the level for John Gosden, made a fair hurdling debut behind Plinth at Leopardstown and was sent to Musselburgh for a Listed contest where he ran well for a long way. Wood Breizh, a minor winner on the Flat in France, has done enough in his two races for Willie Mullins to suggest he will be winning soon but Ruby Walsh has chosen to ride the newcomer FLORISHWELLS D'ETE and that looks significant. She's had a couple of races in minor company on the Flat in France and won the latest of them so her allowance may be enough to see her make a successful start.
