FormscanBy Michael Graham - HALLOWED STAR has to be taken very seriously on chasing debut. He enjoys his trips to Ballybrit with two victories accrued here and he absolutely routed the field in a valuable Grade B handicap hurdle at the festival in July. The rain will play to his strengths. Indigo Breeze has had a race over fences when he fell in Limerick. He departed at the penultimate fence when racing second at the time, and it is worth noting that the winner has since followed up by 11 lengths in Killarney. Peter Fahey's Sit Down Lucy is another arriving on the back of a victory in a valuable handicap hurdle at the Galway Festival. His stable is in red-hot form and this eight-year-old gets the mares' allowance, and adds further spice to the mix on her chasing debut.
