Knockraha Boss did well in points and bumpers but has been well beaten in maiden hurdles. SHAN DUN NA NGALL had shown virtually nothing before making a successful handicap debut over the minimum trip at Down Royal where he was always travelling nicely. The longer trip should show him in an even better light and he looks certain to prove better than a 97-rated handicapper. Theo makes a quick reappearance and has to be respected as he's gone well in both starts since scoring at Down Royal in March. Spirit Of Afection ran a bit better at Limerick though was still beaten a long way but the veteran Marshim showed that he could still be capable of one last victory after an excellent reappearance over this track and trip last month.
