Formscan By Tom Weekes - This is a grand guessing game in a traditionally hot bumper and the pick is the English trained THAT'S A GIVEN. He has already won a bumper, on debut, at Huntingdon last month and is clearly able and in good form. The form of that bumper is as yet unproven but, notably, he is a half-brother to Wait For Me which filled third-place in the 2015 Cheltenham Festival Bumper. Think Positive represents Willie and Patrick Mullins here and is clearly of interest despite just a slightly above average debut run at Towcester last November. He was bred by his current owner and was sold to Britain (for E30,000) before returning to be trained by Mullins but he does need to improve from that debut run to win today. Gordon Elliott runs four and picking the best is a task in itself. Commander Of Fleet was a good point to point winner when trained by Pat Doyle last month but faces an altogether more different job here while Column Of Fire is a half-brother to Cheltenham winner Tully East and stablemates Ferocious and Santana Plessis were bought for E100,000 and E78,000 respectively last June. Noel Meade's Seeyouinvinnys is ridden by Nina Carberry but makes his debut in a hood, which could possibly be a negative, while Joseph O'Brien's Glocca Mora has Derek O'Connor's assistance and races in a first-time tongue-tie.
