Verdict

SHEMSHAL makes a quick reappearance after finishing fourth in a handicap at Punchestown on Thursday but his form looks head and shoulders above that of his rivals and he's likely to go off a short price. Santo Prince could be the danger having already shown plenty of promise at Leopardstown and Gowran, though German Flat winner Odit wasn't disgraced when third over track and trip on his hurdling debut. Knockans Bridge was placed in seven on his 14 runs between the flags but will need more of a stamina test.
