FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - The Shunter is back from the sanctions imposed on him, trainer Emmet Mullins and rider Brian Hayes, under Rule 212, at Tipperary on July 1st. Never put into the race from off the pace on debut for current connections, it didn’t look good when the Stowaway gelding finished with a flourish to take fourth position behind Bold Enough. He’s not a straight-forward horse as his nought from nineteen record shows, and it’ll be interesting to see how he fares out now, back in trip with a hood tried. For a selection TULLYBEG is preferred to the expensive to follow Kendancer. Owners Noel and Valerie Moran have big ambitions in the game, and Tullybeg looks a nice youngster for the Bective Stud couple after his Bellewstown bumper win. Big King is another that can at least contend for a place in the frame.
