The hurdling debut of SHANESHILL has been eagerly anticipated and an entry in the Grade 1 Royal Bond here at the end of this month shows how much he's regarded. Unbeaten in bumpers until just run out of it by Silver Concorde in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham, he reversed form with the winner in the championship event at Punchestown and his pedigree is all about hurdling. Wrath Of Titans should prove a good yardstick as he has done well over timber while Crown Of Gold only just failed to catch A Sizing Network here a couple of weeks ago and will definitely improve. Keppols Queen wasn't far behind two useful prospects at Naas and she could provide the main threat with her allowances.
