FormscanBy Gary Carson - All eyes will be on GINTO as the expensive purchase starts off over hurdles here. The Walk In The Park gelding cost %A3470,000 after winning his point-to-point and having been turned over on his first outing in a bumper he was impressive second time out here in February. Gordon Elliott said after that win that he wasn't really a bumper horse and would be a different proposition with a jump in front of him so it will be interesting to see how he fares now. Midnight It Is has plenty of solid placed form in bumpers and over hurdles. That experience will stand to him but he looks fairly exposed at this stage. Golas Tiep shaped with promise when second on his debut in a Punchestown bumper and is another interesting hurdling debutant.
