Tackmaster has plenty of improvement in him and beat a strongly fancied rival in good style at Wexford. There's more to come but he takes on strong opposition here in Jenari and LYREEN LEGEND. The former easily landed a maiden at Limerick before a better effort when just a length behind Cash And Go at Gowran and is certain to give a good account. However, Lyreen Legend stepped up from landing a Naas maiden to running very well behind the useful pair Unaccompanied and Sailors Warn on the same track and with further progress likely can take this.
