PALLAS ATHENE went for £125,000 after landing a point at Lisronagh in March and has joined Gordon Elliott. Imperial Fox completed a double between the flags in the spring but was well beaten on her bumper debut at Listowel. Global Brief was well supported on her debut at Punchestown earlier this month but was beaten a distance. Shesakindofmagic is a half-sister to two winners, including a bumper, so is one to keep an eye on.
