Formscan By Michael Graham - There are plenty of interesting recruits to chasing in this field and FRANKIE JOHN (5) is certainly one of them. He has posted some notable results over flights including a fourth in a Grade 1 on penultimate start at Aintree. As a former point-to-point winner, there's belief that he will take to racecourse fences. Bowensonfire reached a peak mark of 153 over flights, so warrants automatic respect on his first crack at steeplechasing for Gordon Elliott who won this race last year. Willie Mullins fires three darts and his My Great Mate enjoys his trips to Ballybrit, while Love Me Tender is sure to be well schooled.
