On Tuesday Irish trainer Johnny Murtagh sends just one runner over to England to race at Nottingham and when sending his runners across the Irish Sea he has seen huge success, which is why it is worth taking notice of.

This trainer has a strike rate of 16% when bringing his horses over to the Britain from Ireland landing 26 winners from his 164 runners.

Starnight looks to have been set up for handicaps this season having run to an average level in her Maiden events, she was then last seen keeping on nicely in a big fielded event at the Curragh on handicap debut.

This looks much easier with less runners and off a mark of 58, the yard will be hoping she can be better than that.
