FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Having run well in defeat a couple of times in the spring, IT COULD BE YOU showed signs of a return to form after a few moderate efforts when fourth to a very progressive winner at Punchestown last month. Tom Mullins’ charge, who won a bumper at this venue last year, had Broomfields Jeremy a place behind and can race off the same mark. The selection has a bit of ground to make up on runner-up Whatsnotoknow who has been consistent in defeat of late and was a solid third over further last time. The latter is an obvious contender while dual bumper winner Carrarea, a close fifth in maiden company a fortnight ago, is an interesting handicap debutant. Irish Grand National third Enjoy D’allen is rated much lower over hurdles but is likely to come on for this seasonal reappearance.
