Hurdling debutant Shadow Sadness won four times on the Flat in Germany and has had wind surgery since switching yards. A winner on the Flat in France, Chef De Troupe failed to complete on his hurdling bow while Tommy Hallinan won on the level in Ireland and posted a better effort when third over hurdles at Stratford last time. But BEACH BREAK gets another chance in this after looking like he had the race in the bag at Cartmel last time only to be caught in the final strides and Donald McCain’s charge can go one better today.
