Neither The Shunter nor GOODIE TWO SHOES have an official rating but could dominate this. The former, a very smart hurdler and chaser, gave 9lb and a four-length beating to a 73-rated rival on his debut on the level at Sligo in May and was by no means punished when a couple of lengths behind stablemate Cape Gentleman at Killarney. But the selection could be anything having sauntered home on the latter track on her debut in July and an entry in a Group 1 later in the season suggests she's highly regarded. Once Upon A River's rider dropped his whip on his reappearance at Roscommon, where he won a maiden last season while Monaasib ran a fine race in the Cambridgeshire at the Curragh and will be happier back on softer ground.
