FormscanBy Alan Magee - THREE CARD BRAG won twice over hurdles and kept very good company over fences last term including when placed behind Spillane’s Tower in a 3m1f Grade 1 at the Punchestown Festival. The selection made a lot of the running and only weakened in the straight last time in the valuable Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown. Willie Mullins saddles four runners and perhaps Loughglynn may pose the greatest threat. He won a 2m7f Grade 2 novice hurdle at Limerick last season and had a number of these rivals behind when third on his chasing debut at Punchestown. Stablemate Olympic Man was let down by his jumping at Punchestown last month, while Captain Cody also needs to brush up in that department.
