The very versatile The Shunter is likely to be warming up for a marathon somewhere and his in-form yard look to have a better chance with Aurora Princess, beaten a head over timber at the Galway Festival before running poorly on the level there two days later. Goodie Two Shoes has only had six starts, winning his first two. He started favourite for a Curragh handicap last month but found 1m2f too short. Wandering Rocks has changed stables since beaten narrowly at Epsom when trained by James Fanshawe but this can go to YOUCRACKMEUP, an impressive all-the-way winner at Galway who can defy a 10lb rise.
