FormscanBy Alan Magee - ITS BILBO won a maiden hurdle here last season and was also runner-up in a Grade 2. The Henry de Bromhead-trained gelding made a creditable start over fences when fourth behind the impressive Kopek Des Bordes at Navan, with Anotherway nine lengths back in fifth and Harvard Guy in sixth. Cork maiden hurdle winner Pure Steel is held in good regard, and the point-to-point scorer also showed plenty of promise when switched to fences at Naas last month finishing third to Irish Panther. Chance Another One has won both chase starts but drops significantly in trip.
