Verdict
The softer the ground the better for Brosna Rocco though he was beaten 18l when runner-up at Clonmel. Presenting Lad is 0-14 and was well beaten at Naas a fortnight ago but FAIR MINDED, a winner at Galway last year, has run well enough the last twice to be given a chance in a low-grade handicap. Miss Us O has performed with credit over further recently and could find this on the short side while Sienna D'or has yet to reach a place in a dozen starts though has done a bit better in her last two runs. Brandy Harbour is first reserve but would be the automatic choice if getting a run as he's been in cracking form over fences and is on a 16lb lower mark back over hurdles.
