FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - The two Cheltenham Weatherbys Champion Bumper entrants, Highland Charge and GERRI COLOMBE, are likely the ones to focus in on. There’s hardly a better point-to-point nursery out there than Colin Bowe’s ideal site in County Wexford, and the Kiltealy operator may have set another top-notcher on the road here, in Gerri Colombe. The Lingstown victor could hardly have been any more impressive, beginning for current connections at Fairyhouse last month. He’ll surely take a deal of beating, though in fellow Fairyhouse scorer, Highland Charge, he faces a worthy opponent. Gigginstown House Stud, who also have Forged In Fire (tongue-strap tried), could see any amount of progression from their promising Fame And Glory gelding. A decent contest might be in the offing should that be the case.
