Super Sonic Boom has shown absolutely nothing but is still with Willie Mullins so improvement can't be ruled out. Appletime was a 100/1 chance when running quite well behind Bat Masterson at Naas and should have made some progress while Inis Meain almost caught Lamb Or Cod over this C&D a couple of weeks ago and would be an obvious threat if in that kind of form. SILVER SHUFFLE has been competing in better class maidens and produced another good run behind Midnight Game at Leopardstown, form that looks good enough for him to gain his first victory over timber.
