Verdict

SHIMMERZ has had a break since beating Verhoyen at the Curragh in May and though 7lb higher would be difficult to beat in that kind of form. Princess Rajj completed a double last summer and looked on the way back at Gowran last time while Gobi Star ran his best race for some time at Cork. Above It All makes a quick reappearance after a better run at Bellewstown and looks best of the remainder.
