Formscan By Mark Nunan - CHURCHFIELD ANNIE was too free before being pulled up in a Listed race at Navan in November and returns from a layoff with a tongue-tie now fitted. The daughter of Joshua Tree was placed on her first two starts and the winners of those bumpers have both won maiden hurdles since. Jet To Glory had plenty of rivals behind when fifth in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown and John Gleeson is a significant booking. The Crawford-trained bumper runners always merit respect and Crystal Ocean newcomer Irish Lace has to enter calculations, while Magical Sal wasn’t beaten far over course and distance last month and has place claims. %0A%0A%0A%0A
