SHADOWS RETURN caught the eye with a decent run over a shorter trip at Tipperary last time and should relish this step up in distance. She ought to be capable of a big run. Sweet Destination showed improved form on return at Listowel and will be interesting if building on that. Having scored with something to spare over further at Limerick on Sunday, Mill Quest is respected despite a 7lb rise while Cerealice and Citizen Al complete the shortlist.
