FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Recent Punchestown runner-up MY GOOD PAL can step up a place here. Despite being beat seven-lengths at the finish, the son of Mount Nelson was following up a solid effort when also reaching the frame over that same course and distance on his previous start. With the Gavin Cromwell yard emerging from an untypically quiet spell, it would be no surprise to see this six-year-old take another step forward. A beaten favourite when second over fences at Tramore last month, Mount Shenshan has to be respected. She is reunited with Charlie Mullins who was on board for her only previous success. A lightly raced Soldier Of Fortune mare, Koolio Kate also holds claims in an open looking contest.
