FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Former point-to-point winner SNOW PUNT catches the eye on his first start over fences. Runner-up in a handicap hurdle at this track over Christmas, he was travelling easily when falling four from home on his return visit the following month. Although somewhat disappointing at Clonmel on his latest start, the Brendan Walsh-trained gelding is worth another chance. A lightly raced type over fences, Junot has the potential to exploit a mark of 91 at some stage. A Wexford winner over hurdles last May, the six-year-old has only had two starts over the larger obstacles. Clonmel winner Birdsandthebees should appreciate dropping back in trip on this better ground.%A0
