FormscanBy Mark Nunan - %0AGrade One winner Latest Exhibition won this last year and it looks a decent contest again. Bumper winner RUN FOR OSCAR has a healthy mark of 84 on the Flat as well and there was little wrong with his hurdling debut at Listowel where he chased home the experienced You Raised Me Up. He can go one better having run okay at the Curragh since then. The third, fourth and fifth from the Cheltenham bumper have all got off the mark over hurdles this month and Julies Stowaway, seventh in that race back in March, bids to emulate them. He’s an obvious danger, although you’d imagine he’ll want further in time. Flanking Maneuver easily won an ordinary bumper at Downpatrick and his trainer reported afterwards that he jumps well at home. Frontal Assault was outpaced by the long-absent Cask Mate at Limerick and, although he’ll be better for that run, may find a couple too strong here.%0A
