Verdict
Shrapnel only failed to land the odds by a head at Thurles earlier this month and is sure to be well supported again here, even though he has ground to make up on Andunowhat on their run together at Cork in the autumn. Hasty Times has been knocking on the door and You Must Know Me has shown plenty of promise in bumpers having won a point-to-point at Tallow in February. SCARTON, another points winner, found only Cnoc Seoda too strong on his hurdling debut at Cork and gets the vote to go one better in this as he has more scope than Bowfinger, the pick of Willie Mullins' pair.
