This bumper features three winning pointers. CHANTRY HOUSE cost £295,000 and is a half-brother to three winners so will be expected to pay his way and Barry Geraghty is hanging around to take the ride. Shan Blue is more of a bargain buy as he only cost €13,000 after winning a maiden at Turtulla in November but showed a nice turn of foot. Story Of Friends may need more time but Edwardstone has only found one too good here and at Newbury so far and will be hard to keep out of the frame again while Don't Shout merits serious consideration. He’s a full brother to smart stayer Lisnagar Oscar and fetched €110,000 at the sales in 2017.
