Verdict

SHANKLYS DAWN can put the disappointment of a Tramore defeat last month over 2m5f on heavy ground by following up on his win here in March to land the spoils in this contest. There will be no excuse for anything other than a big run from Redclue given his form here, on the ground and in this size of field and can hit the frame along with the Gordon Elliott-trained Bold Sky.
