Hunting Brook has completed a double in the style of a very progressive handicapper but has gone up 11lb for scoring at Punchestown and was ridden by a 5lb claimer. Nine Graces also looked progressive when completing a double in the spring and can't have been right when well beaten at Kilbeggan in May. ZANNDABAD, four times a winner on the Flat in France, has had three runs in maidens over timber to earn a mark and 113 may be underestimating him. His stable also run Road To Return, a winner over fences at Killarney and on a lower mark back over timber. Como Park got up close home at Cork but is 9lb higher.
