FormscanBy Mark Nunan - JOURNEY WITH ME contested the same point-to-pointers’ bumper at Gowran in March that talented stablemate Bob Olinger captured the year before and impressed when running out a wide-margin winner on testing ground. He holds a Grade 1 entry over this trip at Naas next month and is clearly held in high regard. Fantasio D’alene split the subsequent Albert Bartlett winner and fourth when runner-up at Naas last season and hasn’t had a proper chance to show what he can do since then. Kilbeggan bumper winner Minella Cocooner was turned over by a fairly exposed rival on hurdling debut at Cork but should be better for the experience while Mr Saxobeat was a well-backed bumper winner at Galway during the summer and is another to note on his first run over flights.
