FormscanBy Michael Graham - LOUGHGLYNN must have been well thought of as he started his career off in the valuable Tattersalls Ireland Sales Bumper at Fairyhouse last year in which he finished sixth. He built upon that when delivering in a Naas bumper just before Christmas and signed off for the season when ninth in the Grade 1 Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival. He looks the sort to make an impact up in trip on hurdle debut for Willie Mullins. Charity Barnum still held every chance when falling three out at Navan in March and is a contender on seasonal reappearance. Henry de Bromhead's Native Speaker disappointed in Limerick, but could improve with a tongue-strap fitted. Elusive Prince also represents de Bromhead after winning a point-to-point for Pat Doyle.
