FASCINATING SHADOW made a solid return to the Flat when fourth at Cork last week and is taken to build on that with Billy Lee retaining the ride. Out For A Stroll's hurdle form this winter suggests she could be well treated from a modest mark on the Flat. Master Garvey and Slieve Bearnagh also make the shortlist.
