FormscanBy Michael Graham - BUSSELTON enjoyed a cruise around Cork and that should have boosted his confidence. He easily won a match race and beat his rival by 42 lengths in the process. He has been performing creditably over fences with a couple of runner-up berths in addition to a beginners' chase victory in Listowel. Trip and ground are fine for him. There was plenty to like about Indiana Jones' debut second over fences in Naas. Improvement should be forthcoming so he is feared. Stand Off is up in trip after landing a 2m rated novice chase in Fairyhouse on debut. That was a comfortable success so he is a contender. Frontal Assault should make a chaser but may want slower ground.
