Hilltop Supreme has carried the flag for trainer Davy Fitzgerald in recent weeks and How Will I Know, a half-brother to two winning jumpers, is one to note under point-to-point rider David Kiely. Colin Bowe's ERNEST GRAY cost €62,000 and is the first foal of a multiple-winning jumper while Patrick Mullins is on board Mythical Hero, whose dam was a winning bumper/jumper. The experienced Tom Hamiliton gets the ride on Silent Star, who is bred for speed being a half-brother to a 6f winner and out of a winning sprinter while Present Fair is a full-brother to two winning bumpers and is greatly respected.
