BRAWLER has won over hurdles around here and led for a long way when tackling 2m4f over fences at Down Royal last month. Reine Fee passed him on the run-in that day but today's shorter trip can see the former give Ciaran Murphy his first victory since taking over from Dot Love. Duc D'allier hasn't been seen since landing a Clonmel maiden hurdle by 12 lengths in June 2018 and has changed stables but Sil Ver Klass has won on the Flat since unseating his rider at the first at Galway in October. Desire De Joie showed only moderate form over hurdles but may make a better chaser.
