FormscanBy Donal Murphy - SHINYHAPPYJOHN looks the safest option in this wide open affair. The James Nash trained gelding was beaten by a nose over the course and distance last month and he then ran another fine race on his next outing at Tipperary, finishing a close up third behind Ucanchoose. The chestnut gelding deserves to get his head in front soon and another solid effort can be expected from him here with the in-form Leigh Roche taking the ride. Rust Never Sleeps is an interesting runner and he is given second preference. The Austin Leahy trained gelding makes his handicap debut here and fitted with cheekpieces for the first time it will be interesting to see how he gets on. Tom Dooley and Lady Ranger both won recently and they warrant the utmost respect while Suburban Sky and Singapore Secret are two others to consider.
