Miss Shoe City has a chasing pedigree and may not have the pace for this unless the ground comes up testing. EXTRAPOLATE has only raced on ground with plenty of give but his run at Thurles in March when a close second to the odds-on Voix Des Tiep with the remainder well beaten just about gives him the edge. Pakens Rock has shown enough to be respected under Derek O'Connor while The Shunter wouldn't need to improve much from his placed effort at Wexford in March to take a hand.
