Artful Artist looked to have a favourite's chance in the 6.20 here last night so that result should be monitored. PRICKLY ran very well behind the in-form Tara Dylan over this trip at Leopardstown before a moderate run over hurdles at Galway. A return to the level can see him back in the winner's enclosure. Whats The Plot hasn't proved he stays this far while Three Star General looks as though he needs even further. Sea's Aria has no problems with the trip as he showed when scoring over two miles at Tramore, though an 8lb rise could stop him in his tracks. Runmhar is no stable star but has a race in her and is unlikely to go much lower in the ratings so she's on the short-list.
