Gurkha Brave hasn't done much wrong though might be suited by softer ground and a stiffer test. Katachenko, a winner between the flags at Toomebridge in September, was purchased by Trevor Hemmings ater a promising run in what looked a fair Limerick bumper the following month. Lucinda Russell's Irish import IT'S HIGH TIME ran the promising Indevan close at Gowran in April and made a bright start for new connections when narrowly beaten by Theatrical Style here last month. He looks better class than these and should gain his first victory unless there's something special amongst the newcomers who include Irish raider Lord Fendale.
