Formscan - MASTER BRICKLAYER finished in the money on both previous attempts over hurdles at this venue and he could be worth chancing given his potential for progress in this discipline now he steps up in trip. Ninetofive also appears to be on an upwards trajectory and is another who should appreciate the additional yardage, while Boolamore Classic and Miami Steve are just a couple of other notable contenders.
