FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - A Lingstown four-year-old maiden point-to-point winner for Colin Bowe is always going to generate plenty of interest when offered for sale and so was the case with GERRI COLOMBE. The form of that March 2020 contest hasn’t turned out to be anything special yet but with Gerri Colombe’s 240,000 pound purchase price and his top connections the Saddler Maker gelding looks sure to be there or thereabouts. The Lingstown race turned into something of a sprint finish by all accounts and he ought to be well equipped for dropping back markedly in trip in this different discipline. Hi Ho Phoenix is likely the pick of the three first-timers and the market will hopefully turn out to be a useful guide. In truth all in the field have something to recommend them in a race where David Noel O’Brien seeks his first career winner aboard newcomer Some Legacy. He has five point-to-point winners to his name.
