Formscan  - The previously progressive LAUGHING JOHN had an excuse when a beaten favourite in a handicap hurdle at the Punchestown Festival back in April. The Postponed gelding is 2lb lower for this seasonal return/chasing debut and is a likely improver, but he can only receive a tentative vote because that ought to be the case for the likes of Strong Run, Just Golden and They Want Me too.
