FormscanBy Michael Graham - Dermot Weld's ASTAR won her maiden on good ground in Clonmel last September and will appreciate this surface. Her fourth in a higher grade at Navan in April reads well as the winner endorsed the form in at Killarney. St Faz was placed over a similar trip in Navan and subsequently took a maiden hurdle in Killarney. He has to be respected reverting back to the Flat off a mark of 74. Sugaree makes her seasonal reappearance and shed her maiden tag at this track last season, so is one to monitor for market strength. Theophilos had a good run in second over a shorter trip at Roscommon and is in the mix.
