Formscan By John O'Riordan - Irish National Stakes entrant SHACKLETON can make a winning racecourse debut for trainer Aidan O'Brien. The Camelot colt is bred to appreciate this trip and while he could have done with a kinder draw, Ryan Moore should be able to slot him in before delivering a challenge in the straight. Fifth on his debut at the Curragh in June, Drivers Seat should be all the better for that initial experience. A previous run is a considerable advantage in a race such as this, so the Joseph O'Brien-trained colt rates a serious threat. With David Egan in the saddle, the Adrian Murray-trained Hill Road looks the pick of his trainer's duo. The colt holds a couple of nice entries so is clearly pleasing connections at home.
