FormscanBy Tom Weekes - SEVENNA STAR is a dual flat winner and makes his handicap hurdle debut, having caught the eye already over jumps. He finished 5L third, when never really involved, to Dads Lad at Sligo last month and while Dads Lad is himself reasonably rated at 109, SEVENNA STAR is 11lbs better off and his trainer often utilises a 7lbs claimer with fancied horses. Dads Lad is himself open to progression on his third hurdles start. Crassus improved his flat rating to 76 with a win at the Curragh and while he doesn't look ahead of the handicapper, can place. Thereisnodoubt is a three-time winner who goes well on testing ground while Takarengo is a capable flat stayer who doesn't jump with fluency and would ideally prefer further. 4yo Dreamsrmadeofthis runs in a first-time hood while Awkwafina can improve from her reappearance run at Galway. Golf Marin is a little unexposed but makes a seasonal reappearance.
