Error-prone on chasing debut but showed promise, potentially the pick of stable's quartet
11	Three Card Brag Bay J:Danny Gilligan T:Gordon Elliott	J:Danny Gilligan T:Gordon Elliott	166	p	223-37	147	148	102	22d	—	—	+9	30.9	0.75/1	3/1 25%
Smart 147-rated second-season novice, has a level of experience that should prove vital

Went close at Fairyhouse despite jumping indifferently and racing in snatches

Grade 2 novice hurdle winner who stays well, should be able to build on Punchestown third

Unseated early on first chase start, trainer also runs the smart Three Card Brag
2	Captain Cody Bay J:Michael O'Sullivan T:W P Mullins	J:Michael O'Sullivan T:W P Mullins	166	—	410-44	-	127	67	21d	—	—	-4	1.6	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Grade 2 winner as a novice hurdler, no indication so far of similar potential as a chaser

Hard to fancy on the basis of two runs this term, held by Loughglynn on Punchestown form
4	Grand Soir Bay J:Alex Harvey(5) T:John C McConnell	J:Alex Harvey(5) T:John C McConnell	166	—	17/3-F	-	123	34	18d	—	—	-1	1.2	12.50/1	50/1 2%

Yard's third string on introduction to chasing; sole runner for stable now, should improve
