SHUMAKER (NAP) was heavily supported to gain his first ever victory at Fairyhouse on Saturday and his supporters had few worries so a 5lb penalty doesn't look enough to prevent a quick follow-up. Tomeric had been threatening to lose his maiden tag for a while before doing so at Roscommon and an opening mark of 109 doesn't look excessive. With her yard in such good form, the ultra-consistent Iamastartoo has to be on the shortlist though her recent form has been on good ground. Storm Flight's recent better run at Bellewstown was also on quicker going than he'll face here while Powersbomb has been chasing though is a decent enough hurdler and reverts to the smaller obstacles on an 11lb lower mark.
