Formscan By Mark Nunan - ESPERTI put a below-par effort at Galway behind him when getting off the mark on his third start at Listowel. He beat some well-fancied rivals on decent ground on that occasion and, while reportedly well-schooled, connections have found a good opportunity to pick up another bumper with him before sending him over hurdles. The selection chased home The Gossiper on his debut at Down Royal in June and, on collateral form, holds Hey Johnny who was a lot further behind that three-time bumper winner at Galway the following month. Tom Mullins’ charge, who scored at Ballinrobe on testing ground earlier in the summer, was a fair third last time but has a fairly exposed profile in bumpers at this stage. The market will be informative regarding the chance of Lieutenant Highway who is hooded for his debut. The Fame And Glory gelding cost E31,000 as a 3-year-old and is from the family of several useful winners in France.%0A%0A
