Race preview
SHADOW PADDY is held in high regard by trainer Eoin McCarthy, having contested the Sefton at Aintree in April. The son of Shadow Gate justified market support to score comprehensively on his chase debut at Limerick and should take this contest en route to the Galway Festival. Net Boy is a highly-strung individual, but is also talented, as was displayed in Ballinrobe when he ran away with a beginners chase and Mark Walsh is an eye-catching booking for this contender. However, the possibility of a pace burn-up may ruin his chance. Endless Talking is another who enjoys being at the head of affairs. He is on track for a hat-trick, although this step up in grade may prove a stretch too far.
