FormscanBy Alan Magee - COLCANNON won two bumpers including a Grade 2 event at Leopardstown and was third behind Bambino Fever in the Grade 1 at the Punchestown Festival, with Copacabana over two lengths behind in fourth. The Noel Meade-trained gelding had a number of these rivals well behind when runner-up to Koktail Brut on hurdle debut at Punchestown last month and that form was well advertised at Fairyhouse last weekend. Riding arrangements suggest Road Exile is preferred of Gordon Elliott’s pair, and he was a creditable third behind Blake when switched to hurdles at Down Royal. Burrows Drive was a smart sort in bumpers, while useful Flat handicapper Genuine Article is another interesting recruit to hurdles.
