FormscanBy Mark Nunan - FISTON DES ISSARDS ran well when second to a useful mare in Tucanae in a maiden hurdle at this track a couple of weeks ago. When he won his only start in point-to-points last year he had subsequent British bumper winners behind him in second and fourth. Running in his first bumper here, he’ll be hard to beat unless there’s a smart one in the opposition. Highland Charge cost plenty as a store horse and this half-brother to four winners, including Michael Scudamore’s useful novice hurdler Do Your Job, is respected, as is Willie Mullins’ Reality Cheque who makes his racecourse debut after winning a point-to-point in January. Coastal World is another point-to-point winner to consider from a yard going well at the moment, while Tucson Train ran respectably in a decent-looking bumper at Punchestown but will probably have to improve a fair bit to get competitive here. %0A%0A
