FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Warren Ewing’s son, Sam, is currently making waves in the apprentice ranks on the Flat, and an ex point-to-pointer with the County Antrim handler, BRAVE WAY, could create a splash here. Owner Kenny Alexander and trainer Henry de Bromhead are becoming synonymous with classy National Hunt mares, highlighted by unbeaten Cheltenham heroine Honeysuckle. She’s not surprisingly Rachael Blackmore’s favourite horse, and the Tipperary woman (hopefully okay after a Punchestown fall on Tuesday) will throw her leg across a nice prospect here in Brave Way. From the family of Martin Pipe’s graded chaser Classified, this daughter of Jeremy triumphed in a Knockinroe point-to-point last October. Ewing had the height of regard for the selection, and she can make a winning start on the racecourse proper. Champagne Diva, Eversosaucy, Lady Rocco and Where’s Bunny are among the others to keep in mind.
