Formscan By Gary Carson - LE COQ HARDI (1) sets the standard here off a mark of 133 and looks like the one to beat. The Youmzain gelding ran a solid race to finish fourth to the progressive Shadow Paddy in Grade 3 company at Galway last month and this is an easier task now. Next best according to the handicapper is Ma Jacks Hill and with Kevin Healy taking 7lb off his back he hasn’t a lot to find. He was fifth in handicap company last time and is a solid sort. Femme Magnifique was impressive when taking a Killarney handicap last time and has to be respected, getting a few pounds off the boys.%0A%0A

Quotes on Warriors Wood (GB)
He is a gorgeous horse with a great attitude and does things really well. He travels nicely, settles and jumps well. Darragh was good and positive on him, that suits him, and he has won on both rides on the horse now. He has won twice now and will go up for winning today, but we'll try to find something similar again. It won't get any easier, but going up in trip might help him out too. The owner Sean McElroy isn't here today as it was a five-hour drive from where he lives. He is a good man and has a couple of horses in the yard.

Quotes on Femme Magnifique (IRE)
It’s fantastic. It’s great for everyone involved, Cian and everyone. It’s a great pot and the lads wanted to come here for this race. She came out of Tramore great. Today she was particularly on her toes in the parade ring; she’s a nice mare. They’ve done a great job with the ground. It’s lovely and juicy, the way you want it for every horse. You don’t want any horse breaking down. I was just delighted. It’s the Dillon Quirke foundation and there is a big story behind the syndicate. Dillon unfortunately passed away but something good comes out of everything. They are carrying on his legacy here. They are a great bunch, most of Cian’s family. It’s brilliant.

Quotes on Beauforts Storm (IRE)
She was 16/1 this morning, so it was some shock when the others (ahead of her in the betting) all came out. She probably wouldn't have won otherwise, but I think she'd have been in the money as she ran well here last week. She is a nice mare and will come back here for a Listed novice before Christmas. She is a good ground filly, is getting better with every run, and that will boost her confidence. Her year will be over once the ground gets too soft.
