DRIPSEY MOON completed a double between the flags in Ireland in the spring and made a very impressive hurdling debut at Perth. He meets a few winning point-to-pointers here and has a penalty but should complete a double. Cadell won a couple of minor point-to-points in the spring before a very good second in an Aintree bumper while Meetmeinthemorning battled to a winning debut between the flags in April. Ladiva Adiva went for £44,000 after landing a point at Kingston Blount in May.
