Tomorrow, December 27, 2024Chase3m

THREE CARD BRAG is armed with an appealing profile having shaped well on each of his three starts over fences last season, including when third to Spillane's Tower in a Punchestown Grade 1 during the spring. On that evidence he is starting off in a handicap on a fair mark and a recent spin over hurdles will have teed him up nicely for this. There could be more to come from Hgranca de Thaix this season and he is second choice ahead of Perceval Legallois and last year's winner Meetingofthewaters.

    Verdict
    Cheekpieces on for 1st time, very good second of 7 in novice chase at Fairyhouse (20f, good, 6/5) 45 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and, on a fair mark for his handicap debut in this sphere (fourth off the same mark in a strong handicap hurdle at Punchestown in May), he's one to consider.
