The three-year-old ALONG THE SHORE (NAP) deserves to get her head in front after a couple of fine runs since returning from a long break. She was staying on well behind Flannery, who runs in the previous race, over 1m1f at Gowran and regular pilot Ana O'Brien's claim is a plus. Recollection won a maiden at around this trip before finding two miles beyond her at Dundalk so should get involved, despite her big weight, while Elm Grove and Byron Beauty fought out a battle to the line at Navan and the latter should just about take revenge on the revised terms. Hatch Hall was only just touched off over hurdles last week though has failed to reach a place in 10 starts on the Flat.
