This time of year for us working in the yard is always As with every new season here at Ditcheat Paul is always adding to his string of horses, whether that be from the various store sales or horses bought privately in Ireland or France. For a raw, chasing type he did plenty last season and his third to Total Recall in a good three mile handicap hurdle at Leopardstown in February was an excellent run. She was very impressive first time out in a Ballinrobe bumper last April and then she ran very respectably in a good mares' bumper at Punchestown by which stage she might just have gone over the top.
He looked a nice horse when he won his point-to-point and I was delighted with his first run for us when he won a bumper at Navan last November. In bumpers he was a high-class horse as he showed with his runs at Cheltenham and Punchestown and even then I thought he had some growing up to do so hopefully we will see a more mature horse this season. Bioverdia has done well for a summer off and is a filly that could do very well this season. He was then even more impressive on his return to the same track two months later, Runaway point winner who was described by Pat Doyle - who has moved on the likes of First Lieutenant, Shattered Love, Death Duty and Bacardys - as "potentially the best horse I've ever trained in this age group".

Hopefully he's a horse with a very nice future and I'll soon be talking to J.P. (McManus) and Frank (Berry) about plans for him but I would imagine he will be going hurdling this season. He came well recommended by Colin Bowe who has previously had Samcro through his hands and there's a lot to like about him. I think we are going to stick to hurdling with him for the moment and we won't over race him this season but he's one to watch out for in good handicaps throughout the season as there is a big pot to be won with him.
