A shocking turnout for a Grade 2 but that won't concern connections of BRAZIL, who won the Fred Winter at Cheltenham in March and a Grade 3 at Naas last month. Mark Walsh won't be concerned with a slow pace as his mount won over a mile on heavy ground at the Curragh. No Looking Back won a Thurles bumper in March and a maiden hurdle back there earlier this month though his form doesn't match that of his rival.
