Sun 31st May

Formscan By Mark Nunan - Bottom-weight CHESTERBAYLAD has good claims after showing much-improved form on his second run back from a break. The well-related five-year-old raced close to the pace when second in a big field at Punchestown and may now be poised to strike. A maiden winner at Roscommon last summer, Laurie Blue was having her first run of the year when less than two lengths behind the selection in fourth at Punchestown and commands respect. I Feel Fine wasn't beaten far when sent off favourite at Limerick over Christmas. Although disappointing on his latest start, the Califet gelding may be capable of improvement on better ground.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on High Notions (IRE)

Shane was very good on her, it wasn’t easy the way the race was ran, so it was great for him. It was great for the lads, that’s the second horse they’ve had — they were unlucky as the first mare was killed in Tramore. She wouldn’t show much at home and we weren’t expecting her to run so well at Ballinrobe. She’s improving, so it’s great. She’s not big but she’s tough. We’ll see what mark she gets and go from there, make a little plan. I wouldn’t say she would be a middle of winter filly. She’s kind of surprised us up to now so we’ll let her keep going for a little bit anyway.
