Lord Transcend to star at Ayr

“Faugh-A-Ballagh”

Howard Johnson’s six-year-old had some top-class form to his name over hurdles last season, when he was not at all over-raced because he has always been thought of as a star in the making over the bigger obstacles.

Expect him to get his new career off to a flying start and put himself right in the frame for the top novice prizes later in the season.
