In depth
Verdict
Emmet Mullins introduces Sevenna Star, who won the Group 3 Classic Trial as a three-year-old and ran in the Epsom Derby. But he’s a six-year-old now and hasn’t won since. Buck’s Billionaire has often placed but still seeks a first career victory, though his latest second at Kilbeggan puts him on the shortlist. The four bumper winners all carry penalties but only Lucky Tenner, placed three times, has so far run over timber. DIXIE FLYER was easy to back at Down Royal in December but made all and never looked like being caught. He’s moved to Henry De Bromhead and could take some pegging back here if his jumping is up to scratch. Mars Harper, Part Time Farmer and Caught On The Hop add to the interest.
