FormscanBy Michael Graham - CAUSE FOR COMMENT's 12-length success in a Punchestown point-to-point last month gives him bright prospects of following up. That was his first run since runner-up spots in hunters chases at Downpatrick and Tipperary last year. Patrick Mullins comes in for another spin on him. Dora D'or won nicely in a Carrigarostig point-to-point in January and receives a stone from the selection with Lee Shanahan's claim factored in. Focus Point has been off for a long time, but is worth a market check given his excellent record in point-to-points. Sledgehammer is a recent winner at Tyrella point-to-point and could have more to offer.
