Formscan By Gary Carson - DALLAS STAR is a fascinating runner here, the first that Emmet Mullins has for Amo-Racing. The five-year-old is a smart stayer on the Flat and was runner-up to Scandinavia in Listed company earlier this season. If he can transfer that kind of ability to jump he’s an exciting prospect. The standard in the race is set by a couple of 113-rated performers. En Or couldn’t peg back easy winner Firebrand at Galway recently but it was a solid run and he should be thereabouts again. Minella Post was also runner-up last time, when collared late on at Ballinrobe, and also deserves to be on the shortlist.%0A%0A

Quotes on Ealu Tapa (IRE)
We fancied him at Punchestown and things didn't go his way,. A horse was dropping back and fell right into his path, and that knocked him out of the race. Josh Halford came in and said that he was unlucky and that there was plenty of ability there. He's a fine big horse, and is out of a sister to Peregrine Run. If he does even a third of what Peregrine Run did, we'll be happy, and we have his half-sister by Maxios at home.

Quotes on En Or (FR)
John told me he was coming over so we tried to plot where we could run. He worked last week and I was very happy with him and I said to John I would be hoping for a real good run. Fortunately, it all worked out. The young fella that rode him is the up-and-coming Colin Keane. I don't tie them down to instructions, lads like that. His plan was to ride him two or three but they were going so fast he was last. That's what those good jockeys are for, so it worked out great. The whole thing is mapped around when John and his wife are home.

Quotes on State Pension (IRE)
He went to Listowel and he had never been off the bridle before. The track was sharp there and was probably too sharp again for him today. . Adam said after Listowel, the bigger the track, the better he’ll be. I think he’s a very good horse. We thought we’d have him sold after Listowel, it was a perfect opportunity after being beaten a nose, but nothing came from it. He’s for sale. He’s only starting. We’ve thought a lot of him for a while. Every pensioner in the country will be after backing him!
