It's rare to find an Aidan O'Brien runner at the bottom of a handicap and ALONG THE SHORE (NAP) can take advantage. She's only had half-a-dozen starts and was having her first run since December when a close fifth at the Galway Festival and surprisingly has been dropped 1lb in the weights. Its Harrys Girl finished just in front of her but is 4lb worse off and the places should be reversed. Fragile Earth has been sent to Hamilton in an attempt to lose her maiden tag but to no avail while Settle For Red does better on faster going and Polytrack. But Super Focus is lightly raced and should be winning soon judged on her two runs last month while Sir Raston showed there are races to be won with him when a staying-on fourth on soft ground at Tipperary in April.
