FormscanBy Mark Nunan - CAPTAIN KANGAROO won a bumper last season at Clonmel that worked out very well and he can get off the mark on his third start over hurdles. He was novicey at some of his hurdles last time at Punchestown but the winner could turn out to be quite smart and a very experienced maiden was second. A little more fluency over his obstacles would make the Mastercraftsman gelding hard to beat. On Eagles Wings won two bumpers and kept very good company in that discipline. He’s of interest on his hurdling bow. Wexford bumper winner Il Courra ran respectably on his hurdles debut at Leopardstown and has a chance of being in the money. The Martaline gelding Grand Paradis was sent off a short price and duly obliged on his bumper debut at Fairyhouse but shaped like a horse who’d want further over hurdles, and Limestone Path could be in the same boat having shaped nicely in a 2m4f bumper on his debut.
