Verdict
MASTER OF THE HUNT couldn't get close to stablemate Henry Longfellow but was only beaten just over two lengths and the form of the race couldn't have worked out much better. Starliner has been very unfortunate to bump into some smart ones and that looks like being the case again. My Princess was staying on in a strong 7f Naas maiden won by Kitty Rose while Orderofthephoenix went for €60,000 at the Goresbridge Breeze-up in May.
