Formscan By Michael Graham - New Zealand was due to contest a Listed race at Limerick on Friday evening. TROJAN FIGHTER was hampered and dropped to fourth in Listed class at Navan in May, but that form received a very healthy boost when the winner followed up in the Group 2 Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot this week. Trojan Fighter's penultimate start saw him win a maiden in Ballinrobe by seven lengths. He gets first-time cheekpieces. There should be more to come from Dermot Weld's Bay Of Stars, while Joseph O'Brien's Shosholoza is worth checking for market strength on this step up in trip. Harmani, who won a handicap by six lengths here, and Wyman add more spice to the mix.

An extended handicap for three years old only that have run three or more times under any Rules of Racing up to and including 8th June, 2026, at least one of those runs having been over a distance of nine furlongs or more (100 = 9st 12lbs)
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
