Formscan By John O'Riordan - Listed bumper winner SWITCH FROM DIESEL can get off the mark over hurdles. Runner-up on her first two starts over flights, the Ross O'Sullivan-trained mare was highly tried in Grade 1 company on her most recent outings. Back in calmer waters now, the Yeats seven-year-old should take beating. Full Of Shade has a mammoth absence to overcome but Willie Mullins does exceptionally well with similar types. It is surely significant that the mare has been kept in training at this stage of her career. Any market support should be noted. Cork bumper winner Salsinha is a lightly raced five-year-old with the scope for further improvement on just her fourth start over hurdles.
A hurdle for four years old and upwards mares only, maidens at starting
Weights - 4-y-o 11st 1lbs 5-y-o and up 11st 7lbs.

Quotes on Aruntothequeen (IRE)
I always knew she was good. That was a good race, they went a proper gallop and she just stays really well,. She's taken all this time to grow into that frame, you can see how big she is. She probably should have won in Killarney, the ground really went against her that night. I told Harry (Swan) to make plenty of use of her and when you get down the hill let her roll on. I said that she'll stay every yard of it. She was impressive and they were a long way ahead of the third. She'll go on over hurdles now, a two-and-a-half mile maiden hurdle.

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.
