The in-form Henry De Bromhead has two entries here. Generalisation has run well enough in two starts over timber to suggest he'll be winning soon but PRESENTED WELL can gain compensation for his fall at the second last at Cork. He wouldn't have caught the promising Come To Me that day but would be unfortunate to come up against one as good here. Melly And Me couldn't find the pace to get past Rock Road at Fairyhouse and might do better over further though it will be a surprise if he doesn't get into contention. Jeremys Dream should have improvement in him and looks best of the remainder.
