Formscan By Mark Nunan - Gavin Cromwell's SHEER RAZ has been consistent since entering handicap company and the fitting of a tongue-tie may help him to make the breakthrough. Three miles seemed to stretch the six-year-old when he was third at Punchestown and this trip might be a better fit. Justicialism has returned to form on good ground of late and ran a fine race when second in a big field at Down Royal in early May. Anodandawink ran his best race so far when placed here last month, but drops back markedly in trip.

Quotes on Kalsman (IRE)
A nice performance. We always thought he was a good horse. He just had a wee slight hiccup last year, so we gave him a year off. His comeback run (sixth in Downpatrick) was quite good when he made the running and just got tired the last 50 yards. Today worked out fine, Caragh was good on him. Caragh rides a lot of work for us and, a small team like us, we have to repay the people that are good to you. He has schooled over fences and we will probably put him over fences next. He would be a nice horse to go to England with - Willie (Anderson, owner) likes a weekend away in England. He loves the good ground.

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.
