Verdict

£80,000 purchase Swordsman has to be noted on his racecourse debut representing powerful connections and fellow newcomer Joe The Crow is related to winners on the Flat and over fences. But KILLACOLLA has the form in the book with a second at Naas on his introduction and he can use that experience to help open his account. Feelin' Groovy ran well for third in a bumper at Naas in between a couple of distinctly modest efforts and The Big Galloper looks a likely improver.
