Verdict
Fair Minded has been a beaten favourite the last twice off this lowly mark but Uncle Gerhard beat a big field at Gowran and a 7lb rise looks manageable, though runner-up The Toothpicker should get closer on the revised terms. Three-times Flat winner Malbas has been placed twice over timber but this can go to WHISKEY LULLABY (NAP). Willie Mullins' mare was having just her second start for the yard when scoring over fences at Punchestown and she's reverting to hurdles on what looks a very lenient mark.
