FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - GRAND BORNAND might be worth another chance after failing to come up to the mark when a strong order in the market at Cork. Afforded a nice break since that November fourth placing behind Thedevilscoachman, the selection could prove a different proposition with a tongue-strap and hood now fitted. Paul Townend reported that Grand Bornand pulled too hard early on at Cork, and hopefully that over exuberance will be gone out of the grey. At the Mallow venue the Montmartre gelding also wandered about approaching the first and jumped right, which he was inclined to do after as well. The know-how gained there may be all important. The Priests Leap, Elderado, Gloire D'athon, Grand Paradis and Priory Park can make an impression too.
