€39,000 3-y-o, Milan gelding. Closely related to fairly useful hurdler Oscar Tanner. Shaped like a stayer in bumpers so this trip will suit now hurdling.

Forecasts

Famous Bridge (9/4), Harper's Brook (3/1), Green Vault (4/1), Brayhill (13/2), Here Comes The Man (10/1), Atakan (16/1), Dedanser (18/1), Moonacura (25/1), Enemy At The Gate (28/1), Ned Tanner (33/1), Midnight Legacy (150/1), Storm Tiger (400/1)

Verdict

Plenty of depth to this with FAMOUS BRIDGE awarded the tentative vote. A promising third in an Irish bumper for Damian Murphy in the spring, on looks and pedigree he is sure to flourish over obstacles and has joined a very good yard in Nicky Richards. Brayhill must concede weight all round but is feared, along with Green Vault and Here Comes The Man.
