Race preview
MAHLER ALLSTAR could oblige after three promising displays in maiden hurdle company. His third behind subsequent National Hunt chase winner Stattler on debut at Leopardstown back in December 2020 reads well. He then reappeared in January this year, and stumbled and unseated his rider at the last when running second in Cork. The form of his latest fourth at Naas the same month jumps off the page as the winner then landed the Grade 1 Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham while the horses in third and fifth shed their maiden tags on their next starts. The Road To Fame's third place in a Gowran Park maiden hurdle over a similar trip has been franked, so he has to be included on the shortlist. Changing The Rules ought to get closer in this company.
