SHAKERVILZ hasn't raced since scoring over track and trip in May but he beat higher rated rivals on that occasion and a follow up looks on the cards. Gimli's Rock is next best on official ratings and while he should have no problem taking care of the rest of the field, last month's Cork winner has a bit to find with the selection. Gala Dancer finished a respectable fifth in better company at Galway last time and should go well while Catcherinscratcher continued her good progress over fences with a win at Killarney and makes more appeal than course winner Katys Girl back over timber.
