SHOT THE BLUES gets the vote on the back of his promising effort at Fairyhouse last month, although a strong market move for the Willie Mullins-trained French Flat recruit Tounsivator would put a slightly different slant on things. Bumper winner Rainbow Trail is surely a lot better than he showed on hurdle debut and may prove best of the rest.
