FormscanBy Mark Nunan - KING JON OLIVER ran poorly in a bumper on his second start but makes plenty of appeal on the promise shown when third in a maiden hurdle at Naas in April. The French-bred was quietly fancied ahead of that debut effort in what was a better race than this. The fourth at Naas went close in a maiden last week and this longer trip should suit the selection whose dam is a half-sister to Grand National third Gaillard Du Mesnil. Placed over 3m on hurdling debut. Itsallinthegenes was well ahead of Long Branch when narrowly beaten over this trip at Kilbeggan. He can confirm the form, although the latter should improve for that outing. %0A
