FormscanBy Gary Carson - FOUND A FIFTY probably paid the price for running a bit freely on his 'track' debut in a bumper here last month when flattening out late on to finish second to Summer Melody. He was an easy winner on his sole point-to-point outing and looks to have found a nice opportunity to get off the mark here first time over timber. Willie Mullins saddles Houlanbatordechais who was highly tried on both his starts for the yard last season. He won a couple of bumpers in France and was thrown in at the deep end at Cheltenham on his first outing for the champion trainer. He obviously shows a bit at home and has to be respected on his jumps debut. Lets Go Champ has presumably had his issues as he makes his first outing since taking a point-to-point at Bartlemy in May 2019. He cost %A3375,000 after that success and connections will be hoping he can make up for lost time.
