FormscanBy Michael Graham - Jumping could be the making of IT'S FOR ME. This former point-to-point winner was a wide-margin winner of a Navan bumper which earned him a crack at Grade 1 bumpers at the Cheltenham and Punchestown festivals where he finished fifth in both after racing keenly. A hood goes on for his hurdle debut. The 133-rated Ascending's form is very strong in the context of this race. Henry de Bromhead's Awtaad gelding was pitched into Grade 1 company on his last couple of starts and finished fourth at Leopardstown and fifth at Cheltenham behind top-class winners. Gordon Elliott gave a positive report on Caldwell Potter's schooling over hurdles in a recent stable tour while So They Tell Me and Whimsy have posted placed efforts over flights in Limerick and Galway respectively. Reserve Intrepide Sivola is related to several winners and has a point-to-point victory in his locker.
