Verdict
Artful Artist has had 13 starts over hurdles in Ireland without success and new connections will be hoping for better given he’s weighted to beat Haafapiece. But YENSIR showed some promise on his hurdling bow when third at Ludlow and normal progress should see him go close with Richard Johnson keeping the ride. Guiding Stars has placed in a bumper but makes his hurdling debut while Just For Tara finished runner-up in a point-to-point in April and has her first start under Rules.
