Punters may want to give their lucky pin an extra polish before getting involved in this. Abarta was favourite when successful 12 months ago but is now 7lb higher and he's hardly covered himself in glory this year. Fifth Curragh Golan is 7lb better off and only found one too good at Ballinrobe last month but SHAKE IT UP was only having his second start in a handicap when runner-up at Kilbeggan so Jim Dreaper's charge should have more to offer. Others on the short-list include another winning pointer, Castle Fall's, and recent Ballinrobe third Augest Benefit.
