SHIFTED STRATEGY produced a pleasing effort on his penultimate start at Roscommon last season in similar conditions to what are likely here. With the useful 10lb claim coming off his back here, he will surely go closely with a repeat and the yard's runners are off to a good start. The likes of Faughill, Swing Till Dawn and Summer's Dream – who has form on heavy ground – are all worth monitoring now switching to handicaps.
