Crazywork De Vassy won easily at Killarney and will be fancied to follow up here. Summer Hill is pretty consistent and was well supported at Kilbeggan last month. But, having been prominent, he couldn’t finish off his race. Wake Up Early wears cheekpieces on his return to action but IN YOUR SHADOW (NAP) is back over fences for the first time since winning at Tipperary in July. He’s found only one too good twice over hurdles since so is clearly still at the top of his game.
