Verdict

A winner over this trip at Wexford in October, ATLANTIC SHORE ran his best race yet when runner-up over further at Punchestown 3 weeks ago and he gets the nod to go one place better. Veteran Grand Partner arrives in good order also and is feared, whilst Smoking Gun may yet get back on the up in handicaps this year.
