Race preview
NEW STAR was behind a couple of these rivals when an eyecatching fifth over this trip at the Curragh last month and may be worth another chance having been fourth when sent off favourite back at headquarters last time. He ran a bit freely over seven that day and, if Ben Coen can get him settled, dropping back to six could be a good move despite the fact that he's bred to go further. Unconquerable Keen and Heytesbury Lane were third and fourth in that 6f Curragh nursery won by Arch Enemy and the former, who was well-backed on handicap debut, might fare the better of the pair again on this occasion. Drombeg Banner won a 5f maiden at Cork in good style on his penultimate start and is not ruled out despite topweight, while Dundalk winner It's Snowing represents a trainer who can do little wrong at present and is another for the shortlist.
