7/1

Seen over hurdles in a number of starts since August the gelding has a record of a win and two place efforts from three starts over C&D. Strong place claims.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: T P Madden| T: A A Howard| OR: 52| BF

7/2

Eight-race maiden, not far away from getting off the mark. Solid efforts on his most recent starts at this venue this month and likely to make another bold bid to follow his effort over C&D recently. First-time cheekpieces to assist.

Wide open competitive contest where SHADOW SEVEN can put a couple of hurdling disappointments behind him to bag a third course win, a second over C&D. The Joseph O'Brien-trained five-year-old can hod off the attentions of many who come into the race with chances, including fellow C&D winner Spanish Dawn, the Tim Doyle-trained Caronda and the solid and consistent Magi Gal.
