BALLYBROWNEY JACK ran well to finish third in a similar race to this last autumn and he can make a winning return to action in this competitive maiden hurdle. The son of Martaline is likely to have improved for that hurdling debut and he can take this at the chief expense of The Holy One who can record his third placing in four starts over hurdles. Of the remainder Minella Times ran well on his rules debut in November and he can claim third.
