FormscanBy Donal Murphy - All eyes will be on HALLOWED STAR here after his impressive success at Tipperary last month. His trainer John 'Shark' Hanlon has his horses in fine form since the resumption of racing and the Co Carlow handler couldn't hide his enthusiasm after the victory of the selection at the Limerick Junction venue. "I think this lad is very special and I'll go as far as saying he is the best I've had since Hidden Cyclone," said Hanlon. The son of Sea The Stars was bought by Mrs Antoinette Mee since his Tipperary win and it'll be disappointing if fails to follow-up here with Patrick Mullins booked to ride. Dual bumper winner Snegurochka is given second preference, but she does have an inexperienced rider aboard and hasn't been seen since last October. The Gordon Elliott trained Jawbox and Kilbeggan victor Eilise's A Lady appear the best of the remainder.
