FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Ejayteekay, Future Proof and SHUMAKER meet again, after they competed behind The Moyglass Flyer at the Leopardstown Christmas festival. On that occasion Darragh O’Keeffe reported that his mount was involved in an incident after the third last hurdle and was found to have lost a hind shoe and to be possibly lame behind. O’Keeffe pulled Shumaker up before two out then. Before that the course and distance winner had been in a rich vein of form, with a hat-trick, and a third placing in a Grade B handicap hurdle at Down Royal. With Charlie Hills and Nicky Henderson in the past, Heatstroke starts off here for Michael Cleary. This won’t be easy for him off a 244 day break.
