Alamgiyr was a disappointing favourite at Dundalk in December and Blue Skimmer has had enough chances, a remark that also applies to Rainfall Radar. SHINGHARI hasn't run since May but has an excellent pedigree and with his stable in fine form the son of Cape Cross is taken to start making up for lost time. Unyielding's second to Laganore in a Leopardstown handicap was a decent effort though he was receiving 11lb. Elusive Approach started off in a Group 3 in March and was well beaten and there were no real signs of progress when a long way behind at Navan last week.
