Formscan By Gary Carson - Willie Mullins was disappointed that YOU MUST KNOW ME pushed Boston Bob so close when the pair made their chasing debuts at Navan but time may tell it wasn't a bad effort as Henry de Bromhead's charge looks a smart sort. After a couple of runner-up efforts in bumpers he won his sole hurdle in some style at Tipperary when beating a decent yardstick in Shrapnel. That showed that he was a talented sort and being a ex pointer chasing was always likely to be his game. He made a big impression the way he fought back when headed by Boston Bob and this extra half mile looks right up his street. Mullins runs Vesper Bell here and he was a decent sort over hurdles. Although beaten when odds-on for his chase debut at Thurles it was far from a bad effort as he was second to a smart sort in Make A Track. He was probably short enough for his initial start over fences against that rival who had already run well over the bigger obstacles when chasing home Texas Jack previously. He looks the obvious danger here. Ipsos Du Berlais ran no sort of race at Navan earlier this month and is better judged on his previous run when a good second to Lyreen Legend at Galway. If he can recapture that form he could get involved.
