FormscanBy Mark Nunan - SHAJAK disappointed in the Ulster Derby here last summer but had previously beaten the smart My Mate Mozzie in a fast ground maiden at Tipperary. Formerly with Johnny Murtagh, he ran well on his debut for current connections at Gowran and should have learned plenty from his first taste of hurdling which saw him finish fifth at Killarney. This step up in trip should suit and his young rider is on a roll. A tongue-tie is fitted on Marv Marvel who should also be sharper for his hurdling debut at Kilbeggan when beaten less than five lengths. Like Marv Michael, both Stadium Talk and Noble Blue have shown plenty of ability in point-to-points and the former comes here after landing a five-runner bumper at Hexham last month.
