FormscanBy Gary Carson - Former Cheltenham bumper winner BRIAR HILL would probably prefer further than this but he looks the class act here. His jumping wasn’t quite up to scratch on his chasing debut at Galway but he was much better at Killarney subsequently and that was good performance to beat a decent yardstick in Marinero. His confidence looked to be shook after a heavy fall in the Albert Bartlett a few years ago but with that win and clean round under his belt last time he has the potential to be a top novice chaser. Henry de Bromhead has half of the four runners and Three Stars has to give weight to the rest of his rivals having already won a Grade 3 contest at Punchestown. He was well held in third in a decent Arkle Trial at Cheltenham last time but did get slightly hampered two out then and over this trip he looks a threat to the selection. Stable-mate Attribution ran a decent race to finish third behind one of his yard’s stars in Identity Thief at Punchestown last month and is a decent performer in his own right. He may just find a couple of these too strong again, however, at this level. It Came To Pass was a decent hunter chaser but over this trip against this level of opposition he looks to have it to do.
