FormscanBy Michael Graham - KAWABOOMGA looked like he would appreciate a step up in trip when keeping on well in fourth in a Grade 3 at Gowran Park. As a half-brother to a point-to-point winner, the extra distance shouldn't inconvenience him. An absolute stack of winners came out out of the maiden hurdle he won at Fairyhouse last year, so he has plenty of upside. His stablemate, Storm Heart, beat him in that aforementioned Grade 3 and he looks a big player after a keeping-on third over a further trip at the Cheltenham Festival. The Yellow Clay doesn't have an easy task in giving weight away to the field but is a talented sort, while the admirable Glen Kiln is hunting another cheque.
