Verdict
The veteran Shake The Bucket gained the 14th victory of a long career at Dundalk earlier this month and may not be finished yet. He's scored over fences and isn't badly treated on the best of his form. Tiantu is only half his age and looks progressive judged on his victory at Tramore though the 2m6f brought the best out in him so dropping in trip doesn't look ideal. Whatsinthecorner didn't get the run of the race over hurdles at Tramore and would have to be considered on his second to Barna Venture at Punchestown on New Year's Eve but DUNDEEDY LAD showed massive improvement when well supported on his handicap debut over fences at Killarney and can recoup losses.
