FormscanBy Alan Magee - IT’S FOR ME may prove the pick of four runners from Willie Mullins’ yard. The point-to-point winner was also a smart sort in bumpers and made a successful start over hurdles when beating Caldwell Potter in a 22-runner Punchestown maiden over a year ago. The French-bred is without a run since but remains a gelding of considerable potential. Lisnagar Fortune also won a Punchestown maiden hurdle in good style while Shanbally Kid, third in the Coral Cup at the Cheltenham Festival, has failed to impress with his jumping in two chase starts. There is little to choose between Galway Hurdle winner Nurburgring and Birdie Or Bust on running behind Down Memory Lane at Navan, while What’s Up Darling and Western Diego are others to consider.
