FormscanBy Michael Graham - This is a drop in class for SHINKANSEN, from his unplaced run at the Curragh, that he can take advantage of. Paddy Harnett claims 7lb from him and he gets first-time blinkers. In addition, the handicapper has dropped him by 3lb. Just three runs ago, he finished a length and a half second in a Navan maiden behind Albion Square who has been keeping very good company since. Hot Sunset has come home third in her last couple of races which entitles her to be on the premises. Mist Of The Deep is a potential improver with blinkers on. She hasn't troubled the judge in three outings to date, but she was only 7/2 for her debut in Fairyhouse. She should be competitive in a nursery.
