The BetVictor Mares’ Bumper which brings day two of the Killarney festival to a close sees three last-time-out winners in opposition and Star Adventure can follow up her debut success. The Irish Examiner Handicap Hurdle is the penultimate race on the card and Lucky Phil can land the spoils for Tom and Bryan Cooper. She had some decent form last season, and both runs this term suggest she is up to winning races. This evening’s card looks like a good opportunity and she can take it at the expense of Grey Atlantic Way. Trained by John Oxx, who regularly saddles winners at this venue, the colt finished runner-up to subsequent Irish 2000 Guineas third Decrypt last time out, with subsequent winners Klute and Cnoc An Oir just in behind.
