Shantou Village and Return Flight could both be useful recruits from the point-to-point circuit. Tara's Rocket and K O Kenny showed a bit of promise on their respective debuts, though not as much as Down The Line. Alan Swinbank has a good strike rate with his bumper horses and his Celtic Swing gelding was noted staying on strongly on his introduction at Newcastle. WEE HOLIO will eventually make a chaser but should have the pace for this and, with his yard back in form, can make the journey up from Warwickshire worthwhile.
