WILD SHOT has run 2 solid races over hurdles since his comfortable Flat success at Tramore in July and can strike for John McConnell. Walnut Beach was third to the selection at Tramore and is second choice ahead of Gordon Elliott's The Abbey, who has a productive spell over jumps this summer and has a basement mark to work with back on the Flat.
