In depth
Verdict
Ain't That A Shame relished the testing ground when landing a Thurles maiden over the trip but this is much tougher on his handicap debut. Beating The Odds bounced back to form on the same track, when Quarry Girl was behind, though a 7lb rise makes this more difficult so the vote goes to SHAR WHATS THERUSH. Donal Hassett's charge has only won once but is consistent at this level and Derek O'Connor was on board when a close third behind the in-form Hilltop Supreme here last time. Chenery was behind in that latter event having won at Gowran earlier but Kellyiscool very nearly lost his maiden tag at Thurles and has to be considered.
