Verdict

Champoleon has a penalty for a bumper victory last January and jumped poorly when last seen at Fairyhouse in December. Officer Cadet has shown little over timber after his bumper victory and Getting Late has run moderately though the longer trip could suit. News For Pascal was staying on over 2m2f here in March and has the scope to do better but SHAKE IT UP's second to On Fiddlers Green at Limerick is the best recent form on offer and he's taken to go one better.
