Formscan By Mark Nunan - VLHOVA was a winner at Killarney last year and had good form on testing ground in the autumn. She was noted making late headway at Listowel and now steps up in trip with the trainer's son, still looking for his first winner, taking over in the plate. The Shaman filly has come down nicely in the ratings and this race might have the target for some time. Guy's Girl won on yielding ground at Clonmel and has gone up only 4lb, with trainer Willie McCreery now fitting a visor in place of cheekpieces. Jp's Express handled easy ground when winning at the Galway festival and 1m4f was too far for him at Listowel last time.

Quotes on Guy's Girl (IRE)
that is very important as she has a lovely pedigree. Steve Fisher owns and bred her, so I'm delighted to get this win. They were going to pull up stumps with her but I said to hold on, as she has heart and I just had to place her right. She is four, is very small and knows she is very small, as she won't go up through horses. They went hard which suited and it is job done today. Billy gave her a lovely ride and I love giving him winners, as he is in two mornings a week when he gets up at 5am. He is with me 14 years and is a great horseman and jockey. He has all the attributes for a jockey, is brave in the stalls and everywhere, and I couldn't say enough about him.

Quotes on Jp's Express (IRE)
It's lovely when you have one that's set up for it,. . I told the owner two months ago that I thought he was a Galway horse. He just scraped in at the bottom of the weights. There is a big long hill up there and you need to be able to stay and have the heart for it. . We put cheekpieces on him today, just to liven him up. At Fairyhouse the last day, he kind of half went to sleep and didn't know what he was doing. . The hardest part is to keep it rolling (good run of form). The wheels could come off the bus very easily. . We seem to have a nice team of horses and we have great staff. We don't have many new owners, lads have been with me for years. I wouldn't mind if someone came with a cheque book!

Quotes on Rhythm King (IRE)
He is very tough and genuine. I didn’t think today was going to be a day for him as he always wins going around a bend. He had a hard enough race in Galway but he’s tough and had a light weight on his back today. He’s not the biggest horse in the world and everything fell right for him. It’s great for Clare and Andrew (Lennon, owner/breeders) to win a Premier Handicap here and he’s one to look forward to for next year.

Quotes on Sylkie (GB)
We're a small stable, she is our stable star so we mind her and bring her to the beach, which she loves. She also loves Galway and passing horses and travelled very well and picked up well today. She likes that soft ground and is just a dream. I was very confident today and while I thought she was in trouble at one stage, she ate the hill. Today's win is nearly better than her win at the festival as everyone is here today.
