Race Tip

SEAN MC (13) shaped extremely well when beaten 5. 5L second at Fairyhouse. Encountered rival with a nice handicap that day delivering his best effort yet. Can do better again. Leading contender. KINTURK NELSON (11) stayed on for 15L third at Fairyhouse last time. That was a great performance and now stepping up further in distance can improve again. SARANDON (6) is of interest climbing in trip. Each way claims following creditable efforts this campaign. PAUL COLLINS (1) could benefit for the application of first time cheekpieces. Won three starts back at Galway and remains a likely threat to all.
