Formscan By Donal Murphy - The winner of a Grade 2 bumper at last year's Dublin Racing Festival, COLCANNON might be able to kick-start his career over flights. Second on his hurdles debut at Punchestown in November, he then disappointed at Navan. Given a few months off since that latest effort and upped in trip now, it'll be disappointing if he fails to deliver. Winning a Lingstown point-to-point in impressive fashion and subsequently purchased by JP McManus, Sine Qua Non is an interesting contender. A close third on his sole track start to date, he might be best watched on his comeback from a lengthy absence. Out of action for over two years before returning in January, Doctor Elvis is a leading contender, while Healys Pub and The Rebel Fox are others capable of making an impact.
A hurdle for four years old and upwards, maidens at starting
Weights - 4-y-o 11st 2lbs 5-y-o and up 11st 12lbs. Mares allowed 7lbs.

Quotes on Colcannon (IRE)
We always thought he was fairly useful. It was unfortunate what happened last year with Finn (Tegetmeier). He was point three light, which is nothing, and he went and won by nine lengths (disqualified at Punchestown). When he went to Punchestown and the mare (Sixandahalf) beat him, we felt he was gone at that stage. Then he had a bad run in Thurles, when we shouldn’t have run him as it was too soon. He was a shell. The whole intention after he won his bumper was to go jumping with him, but the schooling just wasn’t going the way I wanted it to go. I felt he was going to take a run or two over hurdles to get to where we want him. I said at Christmas he’d run but he won’t win because he won’t jump well enough and his novice season could end up with him winning late on. I’d say we go with a different plan. We decided we’d run him in the bumper at Christmas, but the day before we had spots in the yard and he came up with a couple of spots so we had to take him out of that and then here was the next one. Unfortunately, he’s not qualified for Cheltenham but I think he’s okay for Punchestown, so we’ll probably plan for that. If there is something in between, at Fairyhouse, we’ll see.
