Verdict

A low-grade handicap in which recent Tramore winner Prince Of Air would have to be considered if getting a run from his reserve spot. Star Official has never won over timber but went close on heavy ground at Tramore and a 3lb rise is unlikely to prevent another big run. The four-year-old Portarlington led for a long way over slightly further at Killarney while CULLENWAINE was in the lead at this trip when tackling 2m2f at Downpatrick, easily his best run to date. The latter can go one better though the frustrating Be My Hero, a beaten favourite in three of his last four, will turn up one day.
