JIMMY JIMMY battled to victory in a Gowran bumper then probably just needed the experience on his hurdling debut at Bellewstown when attempting to concede the winner 10lb. He gets the vote as Gladiatorial is making his hurdling debut and Minella Escape may just find this on the short side after landing a point at Belharbour back in February, though he’s one for the future. Rosgalme was an outsider when landing a Thurles bumper in November and, with Noel Meade’s horses in good form, is one to keep an eye on. Flying Colum badly needed last month’s debut and is certain to have come on for the run.
