FormscanBy Mark Nunan - TAG MAN achieved a good level of form in bumpers including a victory in a competitive contest at the Punchestown festival. He made an encouraging start over hurdles when fourth to the subsequent Grade One-placed Ashroe Diamond at Naas and, having finished second to a good horse in a 3m point-to-point, promises to be suited by this step up in trip. Good Land won a Wexford bumper in good style before not getting far on his hurdling debut at Fairyhouse. Barry Connell recently referenced him as his best chance of the week at Leopardstown and he has to be respected. Paul Townend has chosen hurdling debutant Madmansgame, a bumper winner at Navan last term and now fitted with a tongue-tie, ahead of Embassy Gardens who was miles clear of the rest when second to a subsequent winner in a maiden at Cork. %0A
