FormscanBy Michael Graham - By the very conditions of this race, it's a minefield for punters as it involves horses that haven't placed first, second or third. SHAKE HIM UP attracted plenty of support at Down Royal last month before finishing fifth. The horse in third has since proved good enough to win a Killarney maiden hurdle by seven lengths, so Shake Him Up has a clear chance. One Free Man can improve for better ground. He ran fourth on soft ground in Roscommon earlier in the month when gambled-on. Synone's recent fourth place in Downpatrick brings him into contention. He represents the in-form duo of John Ryan and Shane Fitzgerald.
