Race preview
DALLAS STAR has the benefit of a run under his belt and this looks like a nice early season target for him. The Cloth Of Stars colt appears to be versatile ground-wise having won the Ballysax Stakes in testing conditions last term and scoring at Dundalk recently. He is still unexposed having previously been out of action since finishing down the field in last year's Derby. Sunchart won this last year and it's no surprise to see connections target the race again. Trustyourinstinct had a good Flat campaign last year, including a Group 3 win at Leopardstown, and looks like a leading contender. He was in action in Saudi Arabia last month so also comes here fit.
