FormscanBy Tom Weekes - HALIBUT ran well in two smart bumpers. Those Punchestown runs were on a sounder surface but his sire's progeny go on heavy and should be a capable jumper. Landrake also debuts over jumps and was pulled up on his last run in March, but was previously smart. Third to Facile Vega on debut, he ran well on heavy ground at Navan and while his Downpatrick disappointment is a concern, his yard was off colour at the time and reverts to testing ground. Cillians Charm finished 12th in the Cheltenham bumper, interestingly finishing behind Landrake's Navan conqueror Madmansgame, and goes on testing ground. He has point-to-point experience but was well enough held on good ground at Listowel. 101-rated Malinas Glory is experienced while Plain Or Battered would prefer further and reappears.
