FormscanBy Alan Magee - SOUL ASYLUM was narrowly denied in a point-to-point at Dromahane in November and was snapped up by current connections later that month for 280,000 pounds. The form has been boosted with the well beaten third scoring next time and he gets the vote over In A Sonnet who was also purchased by Gigginstown for 135,000 pounds after winning a UK point-to-point last spring. Begorra Man showed plenty of promise both over hurdles and in a bumper last term including when runner-up to the impressive Gameofinches at Punchestown. City Of Cork should benefit from his hurdle debut here in December.
