SHANTALLA couldn't manage to complete a hat-trick of chase victories at Tipperary last week but that was over a trip much too short and he's well enough treated over hurdles to return to winning ways under Adrian Heskin. AP McCoy will be pleased to have drawn Jansboy, who showed his wellbeing with a comfortable maiden success at Tipperary last week though he's been done no favours in the weights. Molinero was having his 42nd start under Rules when scoring comfortably over fences at Tramore on Friday and could hardly be better handicapped for his return to hurdling while Barry Geraghty has ridden Friendly Society in the past and his mount arrives in good form after his close second at Downpatrick.
