JACK HAS LOTS TO BRAG ABOUT

Getting off Gerri to partner Three Card can reap rewards

- BY BRIAN FLANAGAN

TODAY'S Bar 1 Bobbyjo Chase at Fairyhouse looks a cracking contest - well capable of throwing up yet another Grand National winner in April

Remarkably the last two winners of the Fairyhouse February feature, 1 Am Maximus and Nick Rockett, went on to glory at Aintree in the race named after the 1999 winner.

A high-class field of ten runners lines up today, and THREE CARD BRAG (3.15) could have the class to give trainer Gordon Elliott another €22,500 in his battle with Willie Mullins for the championship

Jack Kennedy (inset) has decided to opt for him ahead of former Gold Cup runner-up Gerri Colombe, which is a serious vote of confidence in the chances of the nine-year-old.
