FormscanBy John O'Riordan - JASMIN DE COTTE, runner-up in his only point-to-point at Monksgrange last March, can make a winning debut over fences. Although a distant third was the geldings best placing from four runs over hurdles, he was always likely to make a better chaser. Paul Nolan has opted to apply a first-time hood on the five-year-old here. Tempo Chapter Two has dropped a long way in the handicap since his days with Willie Mullins but is still relatively unexposed as a chaser. He has yet to trouble the judge on two runs for Paul Flynn but has plenty of experience which should be an asset in this company. Wee Charlie is another capable of getting involved for recent Irish Grand National winning trainer Thomas Gibney.
