Verdict
Count Brando, a winner between the flags at Oldcastle, avoided the trouble caused by SOME TIKKET when both made their debuts under Rules at Punchestown last May and finished runner-up to Well Read Man. The second-named had attempted to make all and was travelling strongly when hanging badly left and eventually running out. Dermot Weld should have straightened him out and he looks to have the class for this. Patanne started favourite for a modest bumper at Killarney last May but showed little so A Twist Of Fate is a more likely threat. Twice runner-up last summer behind decent performers he'll enjoy the slightly better conditions today and looks sure to go close.
