THE SHAUGHRAUN has improved with each run since arriving from point-to-points and only just failed to hold Minella For Value at Bellewstown. Further progress can see him gain his first success. Cool Klan has been going close and the recent rain will have aided his cause and winning bumper King Shabra is bred to stay this type of trip and is one to keep an eye on. Wrong Way Corrigan was beaten a long way on his only start over the trip but produced an improved run at Clonmel last time. Clonard Lad is an obvious threat despite a very long absence as he looked a bright prospect back in 2010.
