Ado McGuinness could be well represented in the Irish Lincolnshire over a mile on the opening day of the new Irish Flat season at the Curragh on Sunday.

Tribal Star has been in action in the Winter Series at Dundalk where he won a mile and a-half maiden in November, while Casanova has been off since finishing unplaced in a premier handicap at the Curragh in the same month. No More Porter has also had a stint on the Polytrack at Dundalk culminating in a third place in a handicap in December.

McGuinness said: "We might run the three of them. They have low weights, but we will see what happens.

"They will all want a wee bit of juice in the ground and they are going to get a fair bit.

"If it doesn't get too soft, I'd say ,my best chance is No More Porter. Tribal Star is not really a mile horse but he's a big galloper, a stayer."
