IN YOUR SHADOW (NAP) showed improvement on his second outing over the larger obstacles when finishing runner-up at Leopardstown in March. The third has boosted the form by subsequently winning and Noel Meade’s charge can go one better. Get Smart was having his first outing since 2017 when well beaten here on last month’s chasing bow but is rated higher over hurdles than Important Message and Da Vinci Rock. The latter finished third over fences at Killarney without threatening while Shamad has been thereabouts over timber lately and makes his chasing debut. Pesenting Point was engaged in the 3.50 at Tramore yesterday.
