Master McShee bids to reverse placings with Galopin Des Champs following their clash in the Grade One Ladbrokes Novices’ Chase at Leopardstown in February.

The Paddy Corkery-trained eight-year-old is already a Grade One scorer, having landed the Faugheen Novices’ Chase at Limerick on Boxing Day.

Then, following his nine-length defeat to Galopin Des Champs at Leopardstown, he was beaten three-quarters of a length by Sizing Pottsie in the Grade Two Webster Cup at Navan.

Corkery hopes that Master McShee can keep progressing and said: “He is taking on Galopin Des Champs again and he wasn’t far behind him the last day they met. It was a very respectable run.

“He probably didn’t jump the first four fences. He was a little bit slow and in his mind he is still a little bit of a novice.

“We put him into experienced company the last day at Navan and that will bring him on a lot.
