FormscanBy Mark Nunan - MASTER MCSHEE was undoubtedly flattered by the margin of defeat when second to Cheltenham bumper runner-up Appreciate It over course and distance a fortnight ago. Nonetheless, there is nothing of that one’s calibre in this line-up and he gave it a good go from the front that day when finishing clear of the remainder. The Malinas gelding can go one better. Atlantic Fairy was third to a smart mare in Ard Abhainn at Clonmel over a year ago and can get involved in receipt of a handy 12lbs from the selection. Direct Fire had some useful types behind when winning a point-to-point but is another returning from a long absence. Wanchu Beach may come forward a good bit from a fair first effort at Punchestown while L’Impertinent is a nicely-bred newcomer to keep an eye on.
