FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Another clash between the powerhouse stables here, and with two hurdle runs under his belt already this autumn, THATSY might put that race fitness to good use. Gordon Elliott has been quite complimentary in his opinion of the point-to-point and Navan bumper winner, who had All Those Years over four lengths behind in third when runner-up to Battle Of Midway at Galway. Second again at the same venue last time, that was nonetheless a fair effort behind yesterday’s Grade 3 runner-up Latest Exhibition. Monkfish is the market rival, and like the selection he was successful in a point-to-point and cost plenty on the back of that success. Willie Mullins’ Stowaway gelding was second in a Punchestown Festival bumper behind Longhouse Poet, who showed that form in a good light when second on his hurdling bow at Naas on Saturday to another Closutton inmate, Elixir D’ainay. Epson Du Houx is another to consider having run well in a Navan bumper in March, with the winner Fiddlerontheroof going on to run well in two good-class novice hurdles in Britain in recent weeks.
