MOUNT BROWN picked up where he left off when finishing a good third over this trip at Tipperary 4 weeks ago and, as a low-mileage 5-y-o, he could well be the way to go with the prospect of a little more to come. Explosive Boy caught the ey on return over fences on his latest outing and is worth a look, along with The Dasher Conway.
