Hallowed Star hosed up at Roscommon earlier this month but on different ground to that he's due to face here. Jordan Gainford is a good jockey booking , however, and he's definitely one for the shortlist. Princely Conn scored over timber last time but was out the back on the Flat here on Monday but Nazine and Say It Ain't So are a couple of lightly-raced sorts to note in handicaps for the first time. Toms Courage was in good form when last seen in the spring months and has probably been prepared with this in mind but UNION PARK has looked progressive the last twice. The latter is only a five-year-old and Hugh Morgan retains the ride after their smooth Ballinrobe victory so he can reverse May's Punchestown placings with Good World, although the latter still rates a key player.
