FormscanBy Alan Magee - The Cullentra House team have won three of the last five in this valuable sales race and NONBINDING may add to that impressive recent record. The Kalanisi gelding was bought for 135,000 and is a half-brother to five winners notably last year’s Cheltenham Festival Bumper winner Ferny Hollow. The Willie Mullins yard is an obvious place to look for a danger and riding arrangements suggest Hemlock is preferred of his pair. The market should provide plenty of clues as to the relative merits of the many newcomers with All For Rachel, Hollington, Springwell Bay and Whatsavailable suggested as some to keep a close eye on.
