Verdict

SHOESHINE BOY showed significant improvement when stepped up in trip on handicap debut last month, the form of which has since been franked. Under Brian Hughes he can see off fellow-improver Cailin Dearg, who scored over C&D at the start of the month. The reliable Calliope looks weighted to go well but may find the unexposed pair too good.

  1. SHOESHINE BOY (IRE)
  2. CAILIN DEARG (IRE)
