FormscanBy Alan Magee - SIR GERHARD is likely to be all the rage on his hurdling debut. An impressive point-to-point winner before being snapped up for 400,000 at Cheltenham, the Jeremy gelding was a top class bumper performer last season winning three times including the Weatherbys Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival. A clear round of jumping should see him make a winning start over hurdles. Mullins has another interesting contender in the shape of Goven, who won both starts on the Flat in France last year. Meet And Greet won a bumper at this venue in the spring and finished well when switched to hurdles on his reappearance at Naas last month, while point-to-point winner Ash Tree Meadow was also placed on his hurdle debut at Fairyhouse. Whowonthetoss is another for the shortlist.
