FormscanBy Alan Magee - Corbetts Cross, Three Card Brag, Good Time Jonny and NICK ROCKETT all showed a similar level of form over hurdles last season and jumping will prove key here in determining a pecking order over fences. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding progressed rapidly last term winning a bumper and maiden hurdle before impressing here in a 2m4f Grade 2 when drawing right away in the closing stages. Corbetts Cross also won a Grade 2 over hurdles and went off favourite for the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham when running out at the final flight. He should benefit from a run over fences at Naas last month, while Three Card Brag won twice over hurdles last season including at this venue. Good Time Jonny won the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham last March but has shown little on both previous chase outings, while Monty’s Star and My Immortal are others to note in what should prove a highly informative race.
