FormscanBy Gary Carson - FAIR MINDED looked all over the winner turning for home at Punchestown last time and may be able to strike this time. The Flemensfirth mare was a couple of lengths to the good after the second last, travelling well, but folded in the closing stages to finish fifth. Aidan Kelly may hold on to her a bit more this time and better going may also help. Hide Out was still in contention when falling two from home in that Punchestown contest and he could be a danger now. Danegeld was pulled up on his return to action over fences at Tramore in December but could be given a chance here on his hurdles form.
