FormscanBy Mark Nunan - KESKONRISK was bought by high-profile owner Mike Grech for 370,000 pounds after winning a bumper at this track on New Year’s Day. He had a couple of subsequent winners behind him that day, including recent useful maiden hurdle scorer Gabynako, and can make a winning start for new trainer Joseph O’Brien. A Grade 1 entry at Christmas indicates that connections have high hopes for the half-brother to smart hurdler/chaser Grand Sancy. Indigo Breeze won a Thurles bumper in good style last month and is an obvious danger coming from such a powerful yard. Smart Flat horse Still Standing ran well when second at Gowran behind a fair sort in One Down before dropping out tamely last time at Down Royal and it remains to be seen what level he can attain over hurdles, while Henry de Bromhead’s Presenting newcomer Innovated is another to bear in mind.%0A%0A%0A
