The latest entries include the Colm Ryan-trained Charismatic Kid, who impressed with his 6l victory in the INH Flat Race at Navan at the weekend. The son of Affinisea was a comfortable winner, looks to have plenty more to come and hails from the talented family of the Grade 1 Drinmore Novice Chase winner Watson Lake.

The Nicky Martin-trained four-year-old mare Analitheia was the easy 4l winner of a four and five-year-olds’ bumper at Exeter last Friday and is by leading French sire Kapgarde.

They join the smart Young Rebel, who came home ahead in a hot Fairyhouse INH Flat Race at the end of November for trainer Mags Mullins. He is by the young sire Crystal Ocean, who is enjoying a tremendous run in point-to-points and on the track.

From the point-to-point field comes the winners of both divisions of the four-year-old geldings’ maiden at last weekend’s Ballycrystal meeting.

Thinkitdonjinxit was a ready winner on debut for handler Denis Murphy, the Vadamos gelding coming home 8l clear of the runner-up, while Peter Flood’s Watery Borren took the second division in style. The gelding is by Jet Away and from the family of the legendary 16-time winner Buck House, the Grade 1 winner Jessica’s Dream and the multiple graded race winners Beacon Edge and Roaring Bull.

Debrave Soldier (Soldier Of Fortune), a half-brother to the Grade 3-placed Theflyingking, was a debut runner-up at last weekend’s Dromahane meeting for James Doyle’s Baltimore Stables, and the four-year-old gelding has plenty to offer purchasers.

Sean Doyle of Monbeg Stables sends three to the sale, including last weekend’s runner-up Magic Arch, in addition to Hold The Throw and Order On Time, while Eamonn Doyle’s four-year-old mare Maxios Des Champs (Maxios), a first-time out winner at Boulta, is a smart prospect.

Lola De Magny, a four-year-old daughter of Jeu St Eloi, made all last weekend to win the Tattersalls Cheltenham-sponsored four-year-old mares’ maiden at Ballycrystal for handler Brian Lawless. The second-placed C’est Elle (Harzand), from Murphy’s Ballyboy Stables, is also entered.
