2.75 SHOESHINE BOY (IRE); 4.00 CAILIN DEARG (IRE); 5.00 JOIE DE VIVRE (IRE); 5.50 THE STEWARD (USA); 6.00 DON BROCCO; 8.00 CALLIOPE; 10.00 MIRACLE EAGLE (IRE); 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.
SHOESHINE BOY was only narrowly denied at Hexham last time and he merits the utmost respect off just a 2lb higher mark, given that the winner of that contest has gone in again subsequently. Cailin Dearg was successful over C&D a few weeks ago and another good run can be expected, despite a 6lb rise. The shortlist is completed by The Steward and Don Brocco.
