Give Us A Swig produced a most taking debut effort when running out the game winner of the Open Maiden point-to-point at Alnwick on 11th January for the Tom Ellis yard. The son of Trans Island jumped well in the hands of Gina Andrews and showed battling qualities from four out to wear down the long-time leader at the last and win going away by 4 1/2 lengths. A brother to Ar Eagla Na Heagla himself a recent 23 length winner at Down Royal this five-year-old looks a bright young prospect to now take under rules.
