FormscanBy Gary Carson - BRAESIDE has been knocking on the door and can open his account over fences now. The Presenting gelding chased home Fils d'Oudairies at Navan last month and that looks solid form with the winner going on to finish second to Envoi Allen at Punchestown recently. The selection has an official rating of 133 and Choungaya is a pound higher. Joseph O'Brien's charge is another with some solid placed over form fences and didn't run too badly when prominent for a long way in the Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown over Christmas. He looks an obvious danger. Madison To Monroe, a former point-to-point winner, showed a nice level of ability over timber and could be the sort to do better over fences. He is worth watching on his chase debut.
