Verdict
A low-class handicap in which NEVADA BRAVE can gain his first success on Turf after showing good form at Dundalk over the last few weeks including a victory in January. Neverfindanother U got off the mark at Dundalk last month but an 8lb rise looks harsh while Bringsty has been beaten in claiming company there. Theophilos has shown little so far but his stable has struck form and it wouldn't be a shock to see a big run. Gudrun Genberg is still a maiden but was only beaten a neck at Navan in October and was probably feeling the effects when well beaten at Killarney a few days later.
