FormscanBy Tom Weekes - SHADOW RIDER has very strong claims. A debut point to point winner in February 2018, he returned following a 1,009 days layoff when a promising third in a hot maiden hurdle at Navan last month. The form of that race was boosted subsequently with the winner winning at Grade 2 level subsequently and SHADOW RIVER is proven on testing ground and over this trip. Grangeclare Native himself won his point-to-point and bumper debuts but has yet to win in four hurdle runs. He disappointed at Navan earlier this month but can chase the selection home if returning to his previous Navan/November form. Mount Mellaray showed improvement when second here recently and has place claims as a proven type over this distance and on testing ground. Bal De Rio is winless in no less than 17 hurdles but is nonetheless a capable jumper who might place today. Elusive Star is another with some place claims.
