Verdict
Jamie Codd was on board when CALDWELL POTTER impressed at Punchestown and chooses him over Cato Capone, whom he rode when finishing a head in front of Lecky Watson on the latter track only to lose the race in the steward's room. He was also on board King Of Kingsfield when that one, a very impressive winner between the flags, made a winning bumper start at Down Royal. Special Cadeau has joined Willie Mullins after being sold for £220,000 following a bumper victory for Pam Sly at Huntingdon and Roscommon winner Rockstown Girl was placed in a Gowran Listed contest that has worked out very well.
