The very consistent but one-paced Esporao had an entry at Bellewstown last night. Burma Rock only just failed to catch Shake The Bucket at Tramore a week ago but is penalised for a victory on the Flat in 2009. Boxer Beat looked potentially useful when chasing home Devil's Elbow at Ballinrobe but has run poorly over hurdles and on the Flat subsequently. IN A NUTSHELL has been beaten a total of four lengths in his last three starts and is due a change of fortune. All of those races were on ground with some give so the quicker conditions here can enable him to lose that maiden tag.
