FormscanBy John O'Riordan - The Shark Hanlon-trained HALLOWED STAR is a real course specialist who seldom runs a bad race at his favoured venue. Runner-up in a bumper here, the gelding has subsequently won over both hurdles and fences, as well as finishing sixth on the flat here last year. On that latter occasion, he was drawn out very wide and suffered an interrupted passage before staying on late. From stall 4, the nine-year-old should have much better prospects this time. Grappa Nonino has to be a live contender if Chris Hayes is able to overcome an outside berth on the Dermot Weld-trained five-year-old. The Teofilo gelding travelled particularly well when runner-up at the Curragh on his penultimate outing. Jabbar has to prove his stamina but should be involved if staying this trip on his first attempt.
