FormscanBy Alan Magee - SHORE gets the vote stepped up in trip on his handicap debut. Gerry Keane’s charge is obviously held in some regard as he’s attracted support on all three outings here in recent weeks including when just denied in a claimer over an extended ten furlongs. Conor Hogan and Pachmena were close behind on that occasion and Sam Ewing is an interesting booking. Never Mistabeat has won readily twice here over the extended ten furlongs this year and went down narrowly in between over this trip. However, he’s gone up a total of 27lb and faces a stiff enough task as a result. Top Line Tommy won over course and distance earlier this year and has been in good form since including when just beaten in a tight finish here a fortnight ago.
