Magen looks a Star in making Magen's Star produced another impressive front-running performance to make it two from two over hurdles in the Kilsheelan Mares Novice Hurdle at Clonmel. Davy Condon's mount had a healthy lead after a couple of flights and never saw another rival from there. The Tommy Stack-trained Galileo mare cruised home down the straight to record an easy 15-length victory over Stephanie Kate. The 15/8 favourite had scored in similar style on her hurdling debut at Thurles back in November before meeting with a setback. "She loves that ground and can't get it soft enough so plans are ground dependent," said Stack afterwards. "She hadn't run in 90 days as she had an infection in a joint and it blew up a bit. She had to stand in for a fortnight. The rest may have done her good!"
