Inside set to star in nurseryfor Prendergast
Kevin Prendergast's Star Inside is a hopeful nap choice in the featured Irish Stallion Farms' EBF Premier Nursery.
The Key Of Luck gelding got off the mark at the third time of asking at Tralee, showing a good attitude when the questions were popped by Declan McDonogh.
He quickened up nicely in the closing stages to beat Shabahar by a length and three parts, staying the mile trip really well.
It would be silly to get too carried away with that form, but at the same time there is no doubt the selection has been given a fair chance by the handicapper.
There are plenty of dangers, headed by top weight Great Sphinx. The Ballydoyle colt won his maiden in smooth style at Tipperary and it isn't easy calculating just how good he might be!
The Devon Inn Hotel three-year-old Hurdle is easily the best juvenile event run so far this season.
There are several possibilities, but the one who gets the vote is Eugene O'Sullivan's Head Waiter.
He made a fine start at Killarney fifteen days ago, beating Miss Mason by five lengths. His jumping was fast and accurate and a repeat of that should see him run another big race.
Articulation may not necessarily be the best horse in the John F McGuire Beginners Chase, but nevertheless has plenty going for him.
He made a solid start over fences at Tralee, splitting Callow Lake and Anno Jubilo. Articulation jumped brilliantly and the form was boosted when Anno Jubilo went on to score at Galway.
