Corporate Box, a winner over hurdles at Limerick last month, failed to take advantage of a lower mark over timber at Killarney though the trip may have been too short. SHAMIRAN beat a huge field over hurdles at Punchestown last month and, though still a maiden after 10 starts over fences, his overall form suggests he's well handicapped and should be good enough. Thelobstercatcher ran his best race for some time over fences over the track and trip last time and has to be considered along with Best Value, who was a convincing winner at Limerick despite finding the trip too short.
