FormscanBy Tom Weekes - JOURNEY WITH ME was held when falling on Gowran chase debut but was high class, on soft ground, previously. Held by the winner when falling at the last in Cheltenham's Ballymore and disappointing subsequently at Punchestown, his Gowran return, in a smart race, was a shade disappointing but should improve jumping-wise and remains promising. Bronn was rated 8lb lower, at 137, over hurdles but enjoyed a clear round on fences debut behind a smart winner. He was a Grade 2 winner over hurdles but might struggle against an on-song selection. Lightly-raced Highland Charge makes his chase debut but was a Grade 3 hurdle winner in March and could improve over fences. Ramillies has failed to compete at Grade 1 level and debuts over fences while Indiana Jones ran well on chase debut. Race-fit My Immortal has plenty on his plate on chase debut.
