FormscanBy Michael Graham - MY GREAT MATE's form entitles him to maximum respect. This Jukebox Jury gelding won two bumpers for Willie Mullins and his placed hurdle form is solid. The horse that beat him in Punchestown went on to score in a novice hurdle at the Galway Festival. My Great Mate was then outgunned over further when third at Galway. Midleton Rare hasn't been at his best over hurdles on better ground, however, he won a Fairyhouse bumper by 10 lengths on soft ground last October so could show up well. Our Shane has switched to John McConnell for his track career after two victories 'between the flags', while Nemo is a potential improver.
