FormscanBy Michael Graham - UNBREAKABLE BOND could be another for Barry Connell who is having a good season. This Shirocco gelding was a decent second (and clear of the remainder) in a point-to-point for Denis Murphy in April last year, and the winner was good enough to land a Punchestown bumper on his next start. Connell's horses don't tend to lack fitness coming off a break. San Salvador got collared at the business end in Fairyhouse and dropped to fourth but looks a player with Joseph O'Brien going for four in a row in this race. Ramillies has been off since running fourth in a bumper at this festival last year. He represents the powerful Mullins axis and has obvious claims. Hamundarson was a couple of places in front of him that day, but has flattered to deceive since. On the plus side, Hugh McOwan makes good use of his opportunities in bumpers and his 7lb claim is more than handy. Supreme Jet was a good winner of a point-to-point off the front. The form hasn't been franked, but it could be dangerous to give him too much rope on racecourse debut for Oliver McKiernan.
