Race preview
Gavin Cromwell's NORTH SHORE sets the standard here with his efforts in far better races the standout form despite a fall three out at Fairyhouse last month when travelling as well as any. If none the worse for that mishap he is difficult to oppose at this level. Portnahapple is the potential danger on his debut for Willie Mullins having finished second at the Curragh on both starts on the Flat, with Earthwatch the tentative pick for third.
