Verdict
Old Supporter completed a double between the flags before landing a Tramore handicap and would be an obvious contender if getting a run from his reserve spot. Roevin Star found an extended 3m1f to his liking on this track last month so the shorter trip and a 6lb rise may prevent a double. ROBIN DE ROOST, a winning point-to-pointer, hadn't shown much before landing some nice bets at Punchestown and a 6lb rise is unlikely to prove too much of a burden so he gets the nod. Shake The Bucket, who has a career record of 12-89 on the Flat and over jumps, ran his best race for a while at Kilbeggan last week and should soon be winning again. Patsio found the minimum too short at Tramore after a much better run over this trip at Killarney.
