FormscanBy Alan Magee - CAMPROND made a mistake at a vital stage when fourth to West Cork in the Greatwood Handicap Hurdle here in November and the form of that valuable event has been working out exceptionally well since with Tritonic and Glory And Fortune both going on to win Premier Handicaps while the runner-up Adagio is a Champion Hurdle contender. The selection previously beat Mars Harper over 2m4f here in a novice and has been kept under wraps to preserve his handicap mark. JP McManus is also represented by The Shunter who won over fences at last year’s Festival and the Galway Plate fourth reverts to hurdles with a definite chance. The green and gold colours are also carried by Drop The Anchor who looked in need of this step up in trip when keeping on late at Leopardstown last month, while McFabulous, Saint Felicien and Gowel Road are others for the shortlist.
