FormscanBy Gary Carson - HUNTING BROOK is an interesting one here on his first outing for Gordon Elliott. The Cullentra handler has a terrific record of improving lowly rated horses out of England and this Presenting gelding is still relatively unexposed. His best run over hurdles was when third in an Exeter novice contest just over a year ago and there could be untapped potential in the six-year-old. Reserve Judgement should appreciate stepping back up in trip after a decent effort on his return at Sligo. He is a previous course winner over slightly shorter than this and could be a danger. Mark Walsh takes the mount on the JP McManus-owned Hunt Museum and money for the Libertarian gelding on his handicap debut would be noteworthy.
