FormscanBy Alan Magee - BRAWLER showed useful placed form over fences for Ciaran Murphy a couple of years ago filling the runner-up spot twice behind Jungle Junction including in a valuable handicap at the Fairyhouse Easter meeting. The Teofilo gelding was absent for nearly a year before a couple of runs over hurdles for Pat Foley just before Christmas and this looks a good opportunity (restricted to horses rated 109 or less over hurdles) if returning to anything like his best form. Mylestown Upper looks the pick of Gordon Elliott’s pair and the Kilbeggan maiden hurdle winner, who returned after a lengthy lay-off at Navan last weekend, now switches to fences. Look Don’t Touch, Oscar Romero and Politicise are others to consider.
