FormscanBy Tom Weekes - THE MOURNE RAMBLER can continue the good record of Cheltenham festival-bumper winners competing in today’s race, and can confirm placings with six re-opposing rivals from March. Bought for E45,000 as a store and by Well Chosen, the selection won a smart Leopardstown bumper last December and at Cheltenham last month, he scored impressively. That Cheltenham form traditionally works out well here, with three of the last four winners having followed up. Boycetown finished fourth at Cheltenham but has a bit to find while Love Sign D'aunou disappointed then but had previously shown stronger form at Naas. Dromard was impressive at Gowran and while he looks potentially high-class, drops in distance and faces pacey good-ground horses here.
