Formscan By Mark Nunan - ZAIDI won a point-to-point for Ellmarie Holden and joined Gordon Elliott after finishing second to the Cullentra-trained Search For Glory in a Fairyhouse bumper last November. The latter has shown decent form since over hurdles including when going close in a Grade 3 at Clonmel. Naruto, whose dam won over 1m5f in France, is an obvious threat and the market should provide a good guide to expectations for the Willie Mullins-trained newcomer who is fitted with a tongue-tie. Minella Diamond, who makes his Rules debut, was runner-up to a horse who is well fancied for the Champion Bumper in the first of two point-to-point outings last year.%0A
