Verdict
Shin A Vee won this in 2009, was second a year later, and scored again 12 months ago when Hasty Times was a long way behind. The latter had Cant Pay Wont Pay 12 lengths behind in a hunter chase here in February so Dennis Cullen's veteran looks to have the edge over both and will be difficult to beat. However, ENNISKILLEN chased home Wish Ye Didn't in a better race than this here on Tuesday and has generally competed at a higher level so looks the one to be on. Grangeclare Rosa is only a youngster in these terms and won a point at Tinahely in January so she could snatch a place with Jamie Codd on board.
