Very little to go on here and MOUNT BROWN can only be a tentative selection after a better effort when a 100/1 chance at Fairyhouse in January. The Blind Piper started favourite for a similar race over 2m4f at that same meeting and led for a long way before weakening so looks the main threat. Laffite has shown nothing in bumpers but has to be respected given connections and the market should be noted for the prospects of the remainder. Hooklinesinker would have to be considered if getting a run from his reserve spot.
