FormscanBy Alan Magee - BALLYSHANNON ROSE has each-way claims at a decent price. She won four times over hurdles including at this trip and took well to fences last term landing a Grade 2 at Thurles. She probably ran a career best last time when going close in a Listed race at Clonmel with some smart mares behind. Dangers abound in a typically open renewal including Ain’t That A Shame whose head second to The Big Dog in the Munster National at Limerick has been well advertised since. Henry de Bromhead has another live chance with Gabbys Cross who is closely matched with the selection on form at Naas last term. Panda Boy won the Pertemps Qualifier here 12 months ago and has attracted plenty of support despite limited experience over fences, while Ciel De Neige and Donkey Years represent colours that have been carried to success in this race five times in the past decade.
