Corkery hoping Master McShee can bridge gap with Galopin Master McShee bids to reverse placings with Galopin Des Champs following their clash in the Grade One Ladbrokes Novices’ Chase at Leopardstown in February. The Paddy Corkery-trained eight-year-old is already a Grade One scorer, having landed the Faugheen Novices’ Chase at Limerick on Boxing Day. Then, following his nine-length defeat to Galopin Des Champs at Leopardstown, he was beaten three-quarters of a length by Sizing Pottsie in the Grade Two Webster Cup at Navan. Corkery hopes that Master McShee can keep progressing and said: “He is taking on Galopin Des Champs again and he wasn’t far behind him the last day they met. It was a very respectable run. “He probably didn’t jump the first four fences. He was a little bit slow and in his mind he is still a little bit of a novice. “We put him into experienced company the last day at Navan and that will bring him on a lot.
