Starman Tom
STARMAN TOM made a bright start at Cork behind last year's Queen Mary fourth and makes plenty of appeal with improvement expected up in trip. Ragaire is an appealing newcomer for a good yard having fetched 400,000 guineas as a yearling. The well-bred Thenandnow and Cactus weren't progressing when last seen but represent leading connections and could yet find races.

7/1, attracted support and shaped well when beaten just a length in 11-runner Cork (5f, heavy) maiden on debut a fortnight ago, no match for last year's Queen Mary fourth.

Just fair form at best in 8 runs last year, placed on 3 occasions (went close under inexperienced jockey at Navan in September). Probably going to have to improve to make a successful return but that's certainly possible given connections.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosDundalk5fStandardFlat12/13Cork5fGood to YieldingFlat5/7Fairyhouse6fYielding (Good to Yielding in places)Flat10/10Navan5f 180yGoodFlat2/6Navan5f 180yYielding (Good in places)Flat3/12- 16(10)Glen And TonicJ: L.
