Brookline moved to Willie Mullins after two placed efforts over hurdles last spring and didn't do much wrong when narrowly beaten in a Punchestown bumper last month. However, NINE GRACES wasn't far behind in third and, as that was her racecourse debut, she's entitled to have come on enough to take this. Henning couldn't get past Fons Virus at Cork but it was a fair effort while Visible Attraction hails from a fine jumping family.
