His form is holding up very well. We didn't go hurdling with him last season, even though he was the age he was, as we felt we would be better off waiting for this season. He has progressed nicely through his bumpers and his form is working out great. He's got a nice turn of foot and hopefully he can continue over hurdles in the smart sort of form he left bumpers in. We've high hopes for him.

He's one I'm looking forward to. He has the potential to be top drawer and you would like to think he might end up in something like the Supreme. He's a real nice type and he won by a long way at Tipperary. I'm not 100 per cent sure where he'll start back yet. We'll see what his work is like over the next few weeks.
Saint Roi
9g Coastal Path - Sainte Vigne
John P McManus
562-201
RPR 160c OR 162c
He's now back up to a mark of 162 after winning at Galway, so handicaps won't be easy for him off that sort of lofty rating. I would imagine the Grade 1 chase over two miles at Leopardstown over Christmas might be on his radar.
Saint Sam
7g Saint Des Saints - Ladeka
Edward Ware
P-62111
RPR 163c OR 161c
He's won 11 times and never lets us down. It was a fair performance at Clonmel as you rarely see horses quicken up the hill the way he did. He'll be kept on the go through the winter and can mix between hurdles and fences.
Saylavee
7m Shantou - Mae's Choice
Ecurie Mrs Lynne Maclennan
23-1521
RPR 133h, 133c OR 137h
She had a busy summer so she's on a break now. She'll come back in the spring, when she'll continue her novice chasing campaign. Hopefully she can pick up from where she left off at Tramore.
Sa Majeste
6g Top Trip - Lost Maiby
John P McManus
6/106-21
RPR 136h, 129c OR 135h
Looks a thorough stayer and did well to get up in the final stride at Tipperary on Friday. He saw out that trip really well and I would imagine he will be one for all those nice staying novices chases. He handles soft ground and hopefully a good season is in store.
Shanbally Kid
7g Presenting - Kalanisi's Lady
Gigginstown House Stud
418-483
RPR 136h OR 135h
We did try him over fences once last season and we might have another go at some stage. He wasn't beaten far in the Coral Cup and was in front coming down to the last.
Sir Gerhard
9g Jeremy - Faanan Aldaar
Cheveley Park Stud
1013-46
RPR 157h, 155c OR 150h, 155c
I have to admit I was disappointed with the way he ran in the Morgiana. I thought he would run a lot better than he did, so I was scratching my head afterwards. We'll probably mix it between hurdles and chases and, if the right chase popped up, I wouldn't be afraid to run him in it. But, as I said, he disappointed me on Saturday so we'll have to see how he is over the next few days.

A half-brother to State Man who was second in the bumper at Punchestown on Sunday. He just got tired in the closing stages, but was still a long way clear of the third. He will need to improve on that, but I think he can.
Sony Bill
3g Battle Of Marengo - Eau Tenebreuse
Gigginstown House Stud
14-F2
RPR 105h OR -
He won at Compiegne and looks a real sharp type, so hopefully he can continue to progress and make into a Triumph type.

Bruton Street

RPR 118h OR -
The maiden hurdle at Punchestown this month looked his for the taking beforehand, but we probably brought him back too soon and he needed the run. I'm hoping he's a lot better than what he showed there; in fact, I know he is, and I would be hoping he'll leave that run well behind next time
