JEM IN EM ran to only a borderline fair level when runner-up on his recent Kelso hurdling debut but has the potential to build on that, especially now upped significantly in trip, so he's put forward as the answer. Ballyporeen shouldn't be far away if seeing out this longer trip, while Shadows In The Sky is a respected Rules newcomer having run out an easy winner of his second outing in Irish points.
