FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Amo Racing’s smart performer DALLAS STAR scored on hurdling debut last month and can build on that. Successful in the Group 3 Ballysax Stakes in 2024, the selection also ran well on the Flat earlier this year and, at Navan, he took well to jumping when defeating more experienced and useful rivals. Dual bumper winner Emerald Enigma also scored over hurdles at Navan last month and while this is a step up, she likes this distance and can progress. Punchestown festival-placed Tinto De Verano won well at Ballinrobe in May and returns following a summer’s break while hat-trick chasing Luck Between Us steps up in grade.
