Shadows Return beat a huge field of handicappers over 2m3f here in August last year but had a year off before falling at the second at Roscommon. The Ballyboys has also won on the track though that was over 3m and this looks too short. GOLDEN GLEN (NAP) gave notice of a big run when fourth over this trip at Gowran then stepped up to score over 2m5f at Tramore. The drop in trip won't be a problem and he can overcome an 8lb rise. The four-year-old Macho Mover was well supported on testing ground at Tramore and duly obliged so has to be a threat along with Lily Trotter, though the latter is 0-21.
