FormscanBy Alan Magee - OSCARS BROTHER has taken well to fences and can complete a hat-trick. The Connor King-trained gelding stayed well over hurdles but has progressed further since sent chasing this season and the form of his Grade 2 victory over this trip at Punchestown, with Bossofthebrownies back in third, has been advertised since. Gold Dancer has won three times over fences including twice in Grade 3 events and subsequently came up against some smart types at the highest level. He had Western Walk three lengths behind when the pair took minor honours behind Final Demand at the Limerick Christmas meeting.
