THREE CARD BRAG looks interesting reverting to hurdling after being hampered at the start in a Galway handicap chase last time, having previously shown decidedly useful form, so he's the pick at the weights. Likeable veteran Happy Jacky returns to hurdles where he's generally more effective following a recent run on the Flat, while Reverend Hubert arrives with solid place claims after an 11-length hurdle success at Kilbeggan.
