The front-running Brawler, a winner on the Flat and over hurdles, has been placed in all four starts over fences and ran his best race over this trip at Fairyhouse. Jungle Junction was still there with a chance when falling at the last at Leopardstown then ran well when third at Gowran where the remainder were a long way behind. Momus never won in 13 starts over timber and was well beaten on his chasing debut at Gowran but UJUMPTHELASTUWIN has been racing in strong company and was in touch for a long way in a Grade B handicap at Leopardstown, form that gives him a fine chance of landing this.
