FormscanBy Gary Carson - THE PASSING WIFE looked a nice type when winning a couple of winners' bumpers in the summer of last year and may be able to make a winning return. The form of those races has worked out pretty well and he also had some strong placed form previously, behind the likes of Wingmen and Redemption Day. Skylight Hustle was beaten favourite on his track debut at Fairyhouse last January but it was still a nice run to finish fourth to De Temps En Temps. The point-to-point winner should be a big player now back over obstacles. Thedeviluno was runner-up in three bumpers and is another to consider on his jumping debut.
