Hollow Games, who comes from the same nursery as Cheltenham Champion Bumper hopeful Israel Champ posted a very exciting debut performance when capturing his four-year-old maiden at Turtulla. The son of Beat Hollow was always prominent and caught the eye when travelling very smoothly throughout the contest behind the leaders. He began to make his move turning into the home straight and from here this sharp looking sort readily quickened clear. Although his closest pursuer departed at the penultimate fence, the four-year-old gelding had matters very much under control at this point, where he had already put the race to bed with a slick jump and showed a nice turn of foot when winning the race at his ease. Connections purchased the gelding for €28,000 as a store and he looks a real chasing type that clearly relishes a softer surface. His very promising debut performance suggests he has a big future ahead of him and he looks open to plenty of improvement meaning he should progress into a very smart recruit under rules.
