Verdict
The veteran Shake The Bucket was having his 113th start when scoring over fences here in May and can race from a 9lb lower mark back over timber. He'll get a good ride from Aine O'Connor but Mikey O'Hare looks to have acquired the plum ride on CLASSIC CONCORDE, who could hardly have been more impressive when beating subsequent winner Courtin Bb by 16l at Kilbeggan. He's up 10lb and the runner-up should get closer without reversing the form. Barry O'Neill's mount Double Windsor has been running well over fences and is another on a lower hurdles mark while Gordon Elliott and Jamie Codd form a formidable partnership so the lightly-raced Yendo is respected on his handicap debut. Global Racing is very consistent and stays the trip though is 14lb higher than his last winning mark.
