Bob Cigar went for £110,000 after finishing runner-up in a maiden point at Tattersalls Farm in October. Easy Fella found 3m and Grade 3 company well beyond him at Cork and is better judged on an earlier fourth in a race that has worked out very well at Clonmel. FAULTY, placed in all three starts in bumpers, made a very encouraging start over timber at Navan and will be better suited by today's longer trip. Suttons Hill won a point in November and makes his hurdling bow after two solid runs in bumpers.
