FormscanBy Michael Graham - This could prove to be an above-average bumper in time. GREENHILLS OF CORK catches the eye after a promising fourth on debut in a Listowel bumper last September. The fact that the three horses in front of him have all delivered since then (including the runner-up in a Listed bumper at Cheltenham) really strengthens the form. Gavin Cromwell introduces Barnpark who won a point-to-point for Ian McCarthy. That race has thrown up winners, so a big run wouldn't be surprising. Similarly, Thinkitdontjinxit has switched to Gordon Elliott for his racecourse career after an easy point-to-point at Ballycrystal and is another danger. Drombane and Bravewave are others that could get in the mix.
