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.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosDundalk5fStandardFlat12/13Cork5fGood to YieldingFlat5/7Fairyhouse6fYielding (Good to Yielding in places)Flat10/10Navan5f 180yGoodFlat2/6Navan5f 180yYielding (Good in places)Flat3/12- 24(8)ThenandnowJ: Shane FoleyT: Mrs J.

Fair form last year, placed twice at Dundalk. 6f looks her trip and she returns with her yard in great form, but she's probably vulnerable.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosDundalk6fStandardFlat5/13Dundalk6fStandardFlat2/14Dundalk5fStandardFlat3/13Tipperary5fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat6/12Cork6fGoodFlat8/10- 20(18)Miss Moore CenJ: Ben Martin CoenT: Daniel McLoughlin, Ireland Age 312/112/111/1

€30,000 3-y-o, Dark Angel filly. Sister to 3 winners, including useful winners up to 1m Melesina and Sir Tommy Cen. Dam, 13f-17f winner, also won over hurdles.
