SHUTTER ISLAND has done enough in his four starts over timber to earn the vote with his close second to Sardinia at Wexford looking strong form. He's had a recent run on the Flat and will be ready for this. Reflet Ambre couldn't peg back Ridestan at Clonmel but had the remainder well beaten and the winner may turn out to be quite useful. Feel The Air has been making steady progress and ran very well for a long way over 2m4f at Clonmel so should get into the frame over this shorter trip. Imperial Plan led to halfway on his debut at Killarney and only faded in the closing stages so he looks certain to improve for the experience. Kahdian has shown potential and Paul Carberry's presence is interesting.
