Formscan By John O'Riordan - A winner of his last two starts, NUMIDIA(6) can complete the hat-trick here under Niamh Fahey. Despite having never scored off such a high mark previously, the Peter Lawlor-trained eight-year-old seems in the form of his life and is a tough, experienced handicapper who will relish this test. Lightly raced handicap debutant Forthill has to be respected. A four-year-old filly, the Paddy Twomey-trained representative would have every chance if reproducing her Curragh third from last November. Ms Messi won this race when it was run at Tipperary last season. Although absent since November, the Paul Flynn-trained mare shouldn't be ruled out on her reappearance.

We threw him in the deep end the last couple of times but he showed nothing. It can only be the ground so we’ll keep him on good ground.

Quotes on Pahlavi (IRE)
Danny (Mullins) rode him the last day and when he came back in, he turned to the syndicate and said 'this is one I left behind me'. He said everywhere he went, he ran into trouble. We are after being very unlucky with him - one day a horse brought him out in Down Royal. Getting his ground is another thing. There was a 15lb turnaround with the favourite (Wing Back) today. They (Shark Hanlon Racing Club) are a great crowd. It is a big syndicate we have and this year I went back to get money off some and some pulled out, but all this crowd stayed with me. I think there was 30 left there now, and there was 60 or 70.

Quotes on Numidia (IRE)
He pays his way. I don't know how many times I was getting rid of him! Not now, that's his sixth win. He was up 8lb and Mel took 7lb off - I couldn't believe it, he was sitting still and riding like a professional there. For a 'learner driver', he was staying cool. He battled on well. He does have a Dundalk rating, so we'll work off that. On the turf, we might be climbing a bit.

Quotes on Ms Messi (IRE)
Dermot and Eileen are family friends all my life and while I was based in England as a jockey, the first pony I ever rode was Dermot's pony called Mandy. They lived beside us, my father was great friends and my mother still goes over to them. I wanted to give up with the mare as she is a bit of a madam, but the owners persevered. A lady's touch obviously worked today and it's great that Ciara got back in the saddle. It's her first win for a while, as her old horse Power Drive was sold.

Quotes on Anightaway (IRE)
After he ran in Navan, he wasn't right and in fairness to my 'back man', Shane Rattigan (equine physio based in Athlone) he did a lot of work with him and got him right. We took our time with him and his work had been getting better and more consistent. There aren't many of these 0-6os over a mile and a half, and after he worked well last week and the rain arrived, we said we'd come here. I don't know much about the market support for him. I said to my partner Sinead this morning that I thought he'd run well, so maybe she was pressing a few buttons at home! . We'll enjoy this and look for something similar, he seems to stay well.
