FormscanBy John O'Riordan - The Eoghan O'Neill-trained SHOCKER looks to have been found a nice opportunity to gain a first career success. Runner-up on his penultimate start at Tipperary in May, the gelding finished in rear in the Chesham Stakes at Ascot last time. The very fact his trainer elected to run the horse in that listed race suggests that he is capable of better. First-time cheekpieces may aid the son of Shaman. The Road Is Long was hampered on two occasions prior to finishing eighth on his racecourse debut at Fairyhouse last month. With a clearer passage on this occasion, the Joseph O'Brien-trained colt should be involved at the finish. Political Power made a pleasing debut when fourth at Chantilly in April before disappointing last time. A reproduction of that French form would make the Adrian Murray-trained colt a serious threat.
