This looks very competitive with Gordon Elliott looking to have chances with all three entries. SHATTERED LOVE was beaten 1l off levels by Snow Falcon in a Grade 2 at Down Royal on her reappearance in November and competed at a very high level subsequently, beaten just over a length by Min in the John Durkan at Punchestown on her next start. If she's ready for this her allowance can see her go one better as her stable companions The Storyteller and Jury Duty are also returning from breaks. Yorkhill looked back to something like his best at Galway though ran poorly in the Kerry National but Peregrine Run looks an obvious threat. Peter Fahey's charge completed a four-timer before running a superb race in the Galway Plate when a close fourth and attempting to concede 21lb to the winner. He easily holds Jett on earlier running but Us And Them, the youngest in the line-up, looks set for a cracking campaign after just failing at the highest level last season.
