FormscanBy Donal Murphy - None of the five can be safely ruled out, but having said that, Nurburgring has been disappointing of late and is difficult to fancy with any great confidence. You Oughta Know is another who'll be aiming to bounce back, with this Willie Mullins-trained seven-year-old pulling up when last seen in the Munster National. Formerly trained by Mullins and not seen since March, a first time tonguestrap is tried on Asian Master, who might ultimately need the run. Successful at Galway and Listowel respectively, OL MAN DINGLE and Mossy Fen Park might be the two to focus on, with the Eoin Griffin-trained former marginally preferred. He beat a subsequent winner into second when making the breakthrough over fences at Ballybrit and looks an exciting prospect for connections.
