FERNY HOLLOW went for a massive £300,000 after an easy victory between the flags at Knockanard and though beaten when odds-on for his debut under Rules at Fairyhouse can go one better. Fakiera made a very promising debut on the same track in April and looks a major threat while his stable companion Fidji Emery, a half-brother to the very useful Cilaos Emery, is a newcomer to note. Forged In Fire is a half-brother to several winners while any money for California Holiday, a half-brother to three winners, should be noted.
