Formscan By Donal Murphy - Clearly well-regarded to be pitched into a winners contest on debut, it might be worth taking a chance on IT'S GOOD TO TALK. A Gleeson family homebred, the Caravaggio grey is a half-brother to Raise You and A Dream To Share, with the latter winning the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham and the Punchestown equivalent in 2023. Bought by current connections for 170,000 pounds after finishing third on debut in a bumper at Aintree, Low Kick is sure to have plenty of supporters. Second to an impressive winner on his Irish debut at Navan last month, it'll come as a surprise if he's not involved towards the business end. An 11-length winner on good to yielding at Tipperary in October, State Pension warrants the utmost respect, while Ludus Magnus is the most interesting of the remainder.
