Verdict

Irish-raider THE SHUNTER did the job well when scoring at Cheltenham on his latest start in this sphere in November, and subsequently lost not caste in defeat in a big-field handicap chase at Leoparstown. He remains open to improvement and should prove a tough nut to crack. Solo will be a threat off this reduced mark if able to bounce back, while Tommy's Oscar and Hunters Call also merit respect.
