FormscanBy Gary Carson - BALLYBRITTAS ran really well on his chase debut in a similar race at Thurles three weeks ago and can go one better now. The Champs Elysees gelding chased home Spinning Web then and that rival has gone on to win again at the same venue. Ballybrittas won his maiden hurdle over two miles so dropping back in trip doesn’t look like an issue. On Lovers Walk looks nicely treated with a chase mark of 113 but this drop in trip would be a concern for the dual point-to-point winner. Luimneach was a consistent sort over timber and this is a nice race for him on his chase debut, as his hurdles mark is just a pound below the maximum rating.
