TEXAS SUN landed a 1m2f claimer at Sligo but gave every indication he would be suited by this trip and this is a poor handicap. Charlie Darling was three lengths behind at Sligo then gained a shock victory at Navan. Estepona Sun has been running consistently over hurdles though without winning while Kartayaz does better at Dundalk nowadays. Hidden Land has gradually dropped to a low enough mark to make his presence felt and Futurum Regem, who was first reserve in the 7.25 at Clonmel last night, would have to be considered after being placed at Leopardstown following a very long break.
