Formscan By Michael Graham - This looks a good opportunity O' BON PARDON to get off the mark. He started his career off with a solid sixth in the valuable Goffs Defender Bumper at Punchestown in April last year and, after unplaced efforts in a bumper at Galway and a maiden hurdle at Punchestown, showed much more when a close fourth in a Naas maiden hurdle last month. Conor Stone-Walsh is proving good value for his 5lb claim in this sphere. Butchers Bill has faced tough tasks in his three outings to date, but this looks a weaker race and he gets first-time cheekpieces. Similar sentiments apply to the 102-rated Leah's Contessa who has in-form claimer Tiernan Power Roche up.
