FormscanBy Mark Nunan - JOUSTER seems to be gradually returning to form and the addition of blinkers might help him to get his head back in front. He was a back-to-back winner in late 2024, including in a chase at Tramore, and finished a creditable third at that track last time. The Rebel County finished just behind the selection at Tramore and the Harzand gelding, a hunter chase winner last May, is less exposed than many of his rivals. Four-time chase winner Stormy Master ran well on his first start of the year at Limerick, while Ballingurteen was second to a useful mare in a point-to-point and now switches to fences having been placed in her last two hurdle outings. %0A%0A%0A%0A
