FormscanBy Donal Murphy - While Apple's Of Bresil is likely to prove popular with punters, he failed to justify favouritism when last seen at Galway and it might be worth taking him on. COUMEENOOLE, Colonel Nelson and Taponthego are interesting point-to-point graduates in the line-up, with preference for the Paul Nolan-trained former. Previously in the care of the shrewd Jonathan Fogarty and a winner on debut at Ballindenisk in May, he beat Millforce into second, with that one successful in both starts since. Out of a smart four-time winner, the selection was bought by current connections for 180,000 pounds. The aforementioned Colonel Nelson and Taponthego are both capable of making an impact, while Wexford runner-up Laravie is another leading hope.
A hurdle for four years old and upwards, maidens at starting
Weights - 4-y-o 11st 10lbs 5-y-o and up 11st 12lbs Mares allowed 7lbs

Quotes on Apple's Of Bresil (FR)
He has very very good winter form but is not really a bumper horse. They went no gallop and it turned into a bit of a sprint. He hasn't run for a while so it was a good performance. He'll go to Galway for a maiden hurdle, probably the one on the Saturday, but he'll probably be entered for another one as well. Finny works for me and is a great asset to the yard. I'm delighted for his co-owner Tim O'Driscoll as well.
