Verdict

The Paul Traynor-trained SHUMAKER can add to the first win of his career at Ballinrobe on Monday in this contest. The eight-year-old held off Jeff Kidder to get off the mark at the eighth time of asking for connections over 1m5f. The Denis Hogan-trained Drummer has been hinting at hitting the target in a number of creditable starts since racing resumed last month and can pose the biggest threat in this contest. The Tony Martin-trained Noble Intention, winner at Navan earlier this month and Misty Millie for trainer Garvan Donnelly can compete for remaining prize money.
