In Your Shadow should do better now tackling fences while Muyam Spirit would have to be respected on very good runs at Tramore and Thurles though disappointed in a Naas handicap last time. SHAKEYTRY (NAP) was returning from a very long break when just behind the latter at Thurles and was in touch when falling 2 out at Tramore next time when Flamingo's Court was fourth and First Class Return well beaten. Edward O'Grady's charge might have given the winner something to think about but for the mishap and can gain compensation. Goulane Jessie arrives in top form having won a point in November and a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse last month. Rebel Waltz, a close fourth over hurdles at Punchestown on Tuesday, would be one to note on his chasing bow if getting a run from his reserve spot.
