IN YOUR SHADOW has won twice over fences in his last four starts and is now on a mark of 121, 22lb higher than his hurdles rating. He was only beaten narrowly over timber at Sligo earlier and looks the one to beat. Trickey Trix made all for a surprise victory over this trip at Down Royal and a 6lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run but Eimear couldn't take advantage of a lower handicap mark over hurdles at Kilbeggan. Shannon Fields looks capable of better while Woodbrook Boy, like the selection, is very well handicapped compared to his chase rating and has to be respected.
