The Irish contingent are headed by the penalised Wexford winner Three Card Brag and he’s preferred to stablemate and newcomer Come On Du Berlais. Glascar More and Brown Monday are others to note but Self Isolation and American Land were due to run at Down Royal yesterday. Point-to-point winner Zumbi and Nicky Richards’ The Best Way are worthy of a second glance but the latter’s stable companion MAUGHOLD HEAD is taken to improve on last month’s close-up fifth at Kelso and come out best.
