In depth

Verdict

Shark Hanlon has two entries and Shane Fenelon's claim may help SULAFAAT, a three-times winner over hurdles, to a debut victory over fences. Stable companion A Mere Bagatelle has been in very good form over hurdles and finished runner-up on his chasing debut at Tipperary though was beaten a long way. Shantou Sisu, twice a winner over hurdles, hasn't shown much over fences while Magic Piper was reported to have burst a blood vessel at Tramore.
