Verdict
Shopping Around was a spare ride for Jamie Codd here last Thursday and he made the most of it, steering his mount to a battling victory over 2m. A 5lb rise makes things a bit more difficult though this isn't a strong handicap. SHANTOU SISU has never won but has been placed around here and may have won on the track in December but for falling 2 out. He'll be receiving 15lb from the top weight which may be enough. The fourteen-year-old Analyse That hasn't won since a course and distance victory on heavy ground two years ago but has dropped to a winnable mark and showed a bit more dash at Thurles last time. Fly Round The Bend is 0-27 over hurdles while Milly is 0-21 but the latter would have a chance on her form prior to a moderate effort at Punchestown.
