Race preview
STAR OFFICIAL hit a good vein of form on testing ground this time last year, including a victory over this trip at Thurles, and won't mind testing ground. The six-year-old has run respectably on his first two starts following a lengthy layoff and a more prominent showing can be expected here. Rockbrook produced a gritty front-running performance when winning in a higher grade at Galway and a 6lb rise looks fair. Ifitwasme, tailed off on the Flat last time, bolted up on his most recent hurdles outing at Listowel and can't be discounted back over flights. The long-absent Boghlone Honey has won her last two completed starts, while handicap debutant Tyson showed promise in his first couple of maidens.
