FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Local rider Maxine O'Sullivan can win this on the Tony Martin-trained KILL VANHOWE. Runner-up on his point-to-point debut at Cragmore in January, the five-year-old went one place better when making the breakthrough at Oldtown the following month. With more scope for improvement than the majority of his rivals, the gelding looks sure to play a leading role under his capable pilot. A consistent six-year-old, Sharp As Glass shouldn't be far away. Runner-up in a Killarney bumper last May, the Sam Curling-trained six-year-old has been placed on all six starts in point-to-points. He also boasts two wins amongst that number. Boundfornowhere came forward from a disappointing debut to win last time. He, too, holds his chance.
