Formscan By Shane Redmond - FRIAR HOGAN (4) can't be far off recording a first success. He had worked his way into a challenging position when carried out at the second-last hurdle at Limerick in May, and returned to the same course at the beginning of this month to chase home Global Skies, form that reads quite well in the context of this race. Whispering Willow has held her form since scoring at Punchestown in May while Barrogstown Girl has proved herself on the Flat and might be considered on her handicap hurdle debut.

Quotes on Barrogstown Girl (IRE)
She battled very well in fairness to her. I was a little bit worried about her bouncing two days after her last run, and about the draw,. Neve said she was game out, galloped and kept going the whole way to the line. She's a very honest little filly. She's probably one that will go hurdling, whether we go now or give her a bit of a break I don't know. We'll have a chat with the owners. She was in an online sale recently and there was no interest in her but (my brother) Mick (Fahey) got her sold to a few friends of his and it's paying dividends for them already. I didn't have a double up until this year and that's my second of the year now. We're just having a great year, the horses have been healthy and well and running well. It's a year that I don't want to see finish but it's great to have had a good year. Hopefully a few of the jumpers can take over now and win a few more for us.

Quotes on Finnicky Filly (IRE)
She’s a cracking filly who was bred by one of my owners Tommy James and while I previously leased her to a group of lads who then got tired of her, I wouldn't blame them,. I had to take her back myself and I'm delighted she has won as she is from a great family and her half-brother Piccolo Player won in Limerick recently for me, and he is a very good horse. . It is a proper family although I'm not a fan of Sageburg (her sire). She is a cracking little mare so will make a broodmare for somebody. She is difficult to train and to mind but we have great patience, that's one thing I have with horses and I give them every chance. If this mare had been in another yard, she'd have been scrapped long ago. She will be way better over fences.

Quotes on Surviving Murmansk (IRE)
It is brilliant to get the win with the horse and for the owner as well, he has always been very good to me. It means a lot. He has been very solid, and he is a lovely horse to deal with. He has a great manner. He deserved that and does get a bit further. It wasn't simple from where he came from, and he was brilliant over the last two. Sean (Delaney), who is from Kells in Co. Kilkenny, has been with me a long time and he is a brilliant owner to have.
