Jonjo O'Neill's Shutthefrontdoor is a half-brother to three bumper winners and will warrant a second look if the market speaks in his favour, while Hollow Heartbeat is another newcomer to note. Shark Hanlon is represented by Roscommon sixth Callthebigladjimmy, who will know more today, and David Pipe runs former pointer Laflammedeglorie but a chance is take on VEGAS CASH. By Muhtarram out of winning hurdler Drewstown Lady, he comes from decent jumping stock and Rebecca Curtis does well here in this type of race.
