FormscanBy Mark Nunan - HARALD HARDRAD beat a couple of subsequent winners when readily landing a Clonmel bumper in November and did little wrong when runner-up on hurdling debut at Navan the following month. His conqueror that day was well-fancied for a Grade 1 next time and Noel Meade’s charge can go well as long as he’s not inconvenienced by this drop back from 2m4f. Dual bumper winner Brooklynn Glory was in with every chance when a last-flight faller on her hurdling bow at Fairyhouse and a more fluent round of jumping will see her in contention. Meet And Greet is another former bumper winner and he kept on nicely when third over course and distance earlier in the winter. He’s had a three-month break since then and has to enter calculations while there could be more to come from the first-time tongue-tied Marvel De Cerisy who hasn’t been beaten far in his two completed starts in this sphere.
