Winning point-to-pointer and bumper A Hardy Nailer made such a promising start over hurdles that she was made an odds-on chance to go one better at Clonmel but found the opposition too strong. The form has worked out quite well and Robert Tyner's mare should make a bold bid. ARCTIC SKIPPER also won a point-to-point then finished close up behind today's rival Patsio in a Limerick bumper last April. He was having his first subsequent start when an excellent second to Totally Dominant over hurdles at Thurles last month and can get off the mark today. Patsio hasn't done as well as expected over timber but Prickly is an interesting entry having attracted good support when making a winning start in a Tramore bumper in August. Useful Flat winner Hold The Line will have improved for his opening run at Navan in December.
