Verdict

GAILLARD DU MESNIL was acquired for €250,000 at the sales in November after landing a bumper in France and finishing runner-up in a Grade 3 bumper. This doesn't look the easiest of starts for new connections but he's taken to make a winning debut. Holymacapony made most to land a point at Kirkistown in February and has joined Henry De Bromhead while Homme D'un Soir, who easily landed a Gowran bumper on his debut in January, will have learnt from his narrow defeat over timber at Wexford where he made a couple of mistakes. Takarengo didn't do as well as expected over hurdles last winter but arrives in fine form having finished third in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket while King's Vow is rated 95 on the all-weather but didn't jump well on his hurdling debut.
