Shumaker is 2-3 on the track and has been racing on the Flat and over fences. An Fraoch Mor showed real battling qualities to score at Wexford and they'll be needed again here with a 7lb rise to contend with and Act Of God, who was beaten 4 lengths on his return from a long absence, can take his revenge. Santana Plessis was in cracking form last summer and gained due reward when scoring at Kilbeggan in October. Dollar Value was being challenged when a rival fell at the last at Kilbeggan though he probably would have won anyway and a 6lb rise is unlikely to cause too many problems. COUSIN HARRY sneaks into the bottom of the handicap after going up 9lb for winning here last month, his second victory in three starts. He should be capable
