FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Point-to-point winner QUANTUM REALM drops to two miles for the first time, which is a small concern, but has good form. He defeated Punchestown festival winner Suprise Package to win his point for Sam Curling and while beaten as 2/5 favourite on bumper debut over 2m3f at Downpatrick in August, the winner subsequently ran a good race when second to a smart type in a winners' race. Tempo Chapter Two has moved to trainer Willie Mullins having shown ability when also second at Downpatrick, for trainer Adrian Murray, in March. The form of that bumper is nothing special and while he probably needs to improve to beat the selection, will be well primed for this reappearance. Diamondinthemud was well held by a Mullins trained winner at Sligo last month and while she faces another reasonable task, is open to more progression. Pyramid Hill, from a leading yard, is a half-brother to an Italian winner and is out of an Italian winning dam.
