THE TRIGGER’s winning streak came to end in soft ground at Tipperary earlier this week but he gets another chance in this lesser company back on a faster surface. Lord Lariat failed to cope with a 12lb hike in the weights at Limerick when bidding for a hat-trick while Ashqar was well beaten in handicaps before winning a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan. Placed over fences recently, My Manekineko can race off a lower mark reverting to hurdling while Pepper'n Salt may do better now handicapping for the first time.
