Trainer Fozzy Stack is hoping that the weather breaks towards the end of this month, as he has a couple of potential targets in mind for leading sprinter Two Stars.

The five-year-old stepped forward from his win at the Curragh on his reappearance when landing a Listed race at Naas last time.

Very much ground dependent, with an ease seen as a must, the Tipperary trainer has earmarked two races in particular.

Stack said: "He has entries at the Curragh and Haydock but we are pigeonholed where we can go, as he needs soft and five furlongs. There is also a Listed race the previous week in Naas but he needs rain to fall.

"He is fresh and well after his win, he is a nice horse and hopefully we will have a good year. The Flying Five or the Prix de l'Abbaye would be the ultimate targets for a horse like him."
