Formscan By Mark Nunan - IT’S ONLY A GAME was well found in the market when second in a 20-runner bumper at the festival meeting here in May. Martin Brassil now fits a tongue-tie to the French-bred four-year-old who is taken to go one place better on this occasion. Treasure Memory was unfancied when second in a decent maiden hurdle at Galway and merits respect in his first bumper outing. Boycetown and Speculateur have shown ability in point-to-points and represent powerful yards while Willie Mullins’ debutant Drombane is out of a mare who was smart on the Flat and over hurdles for the champion trainer. %0A%0A
