FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Gigginstown House Stud, Noel Meade, Gordon Elliott and Ross O’Sullivan all have dual representation and it could be that one of this quartet come up with the answer. Gigginstown and Meade combine with Downpatrick bumper scorer FLANKING MANEUVER as he makes his hurdling debut. This well-bred five-year-old will know his job jumping-wise and he has point-to-point experience from the beginning of his career. A half-brother to a dual Grade One winning hurdler in Identity Thief, Not Available is a fascinating newcomer and it could be that he’ll prove a big danger to all. After all his connections, Henry de Bromhead and Rachael Blackmore, started off with the subsequently very smart Captain Guinness in this heat a year ago. Percy Warner is another for the short-list.
