FormscanBy Alan Magee - THE IRISH AVATAR was second on his only point-to-point start for Colin Bowe at Dromahane last April and that race has thrown up a number of winners since. The Poet’s Word gelding out of a useful daughter of Saddler Maker was subsequently snapped up for 200,000 pounds to join the champion trainer. Low Kick didn’t enjoy the clearest of passages when placed in an Aintree bumper for Jack Teal last spring and was subsequently purchased by current connections for 170,000 pounds. Liskeveen hails from a yard that has won eight bumpers in the past six months, and the Crystal Ocean gelding is a half-brother to three winners.
