Following a couple of outings over insufficient trips, SHADY OPERATOR should be spot on for this and he could well be another useful cross-country recruit for the excellent Enda Bolger. Josies Orders won this in 2019 and represents the same connections as the selection, while Ballyboker Bridge is a regular in these events.
