Runners Spotlight

1
Blue Moon Boy
Favorite

Much improved to win a Galway festival maiden over an extended 1m (good-to-yielding); gained a second success when upped in trip at Killarney in October, asserting late over 1m3f (soft); down the field at Galway on final outing; rated 76 at season's end; could feature with a clean round of jumping.

Jockey: Sean O'KeeffeTrainer: Andrew Kinirons
2
Direct Approach

Three runs in Flat maidens for Donnacha O'Brien; gave an improved display when 6l second over a near-1m2f trip on heavy at Gowran in September; best watched in a race in which stablemates Wackestone and Immediate Effect have stronger credentials.

Jockey: Jordan GainfordTrainer: Gordon Elliott
3
Folk Warrior

No sign of ability in three Curragh outings at different trips; towards the rear at Fairyhouse on hurdling debut.

Jockey: Gavin BrouderTrainer: J A Nash
4
Immediate Effect

Won twice on AW for Sir Mark Prescott (7f and 1m); placed in three of his five runs on turf; unplaced in two 1m2f handicaps at Doncaster on final two starts before 45,000gns sale to join Gordon Elliott; could make a useful hurdler; Jack Kennedy's mount Wackestone has jumping experience on his side.

Jockey: Danny GilliganTrainer: Gordon Elliott
5
John Dixen

Never in contention and pulled up before two out on debut at Fairyhouse; badly hampered four out at the same venue on second attempt and soon tailed off.
