FormscanBy Alan Magee - SHUTTLE DIPLOMACY won two bumpers last term including a Limerick Listed race in impressive fashion and ran a cracker on his belated seasonal debut at the Cheltenham Festival. The Tom Cooper-trained gelding had Sortudo four lengths behind when finishing third to Bambino Fever and could progress further with that run under his belt. Kovanis was bought for 330,000 pounds after easily winning a point-to-point last autumn and justified favouritism in a bumper at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting, while course winner I’ll Sort That handled testing conditions well when following up at Naas last time.
