Formscan By Mark Nunan - The new champion jockey can round off the season in style on THREAD OF GOLD (8). After back-to-back premier handicap victories, Willie Mullins’ progressive three-year-old was fifth in a very strong renewal of the Group 3 Kilternan Stakes at Leopardstown on Champion Stakes day. The handicapper raised him a further 3lb for that good effort and the Ghaiyyath gelding can make the most of this drop in grade. The Austrian has plenty to find at the weights, but is still learning on the job and can probably go a fair bit higher than his present mark of 95. Course and distance maiden winner Together Now has even more to find on the figures, but is another open to significant improvement. %0A

Quotes on Shaool (IRE)
I’d love to know where this improvement has come from, Ben says the ground is key to her,. She showed it here one night when Yudish rode her, on soft ground she really comes strong. She had been training really well, all the horses are going well. I thought she’d be very competitive here today but that was a very good performance. I was a bit worried where he was early on but he got a beautiful gap up the inside and she quickened up really well. I’m delighted, they are a great bunch of people. Vince O’Driscoll is after travelling over from America and the pressure is always on when he travels!. I don’t think there is anything left for her, she’s been busy. I thought today would tell us if she’d come back next year. She should, she’d going out on a high now. She’s a remarkable filly. She’s tough and hardy and works well every day. It was a brilliant performance.

Quotes on The Austrian (IRE)
He is a nice horse, and the penny only dropped with him late on at the Curragh the last day,. He was still a bit green today, but travelled better through the race, although the track probably didn't suit him. Hopefully he will step up into Listed company, and he is one for next year.

Quotes on Thread Of Gold (IRE)
Every time I worked him at home last year, he worked better every day,. He is just improving with racing. He was very free early on, but Billy got him settled in behind. He said once he got a bit of cover, he settled lovely. He was doing a half-speed into the dip. When you look at the head-on, you'd say he had no chance coming through that wall of horses. Billy said he had so much horse underneath him, he was just waiting for an opening. As soon as it opened, he was gone through them. . A great sign of a horse is what he did after the line, he couldn't pull him up. That to me showed me that there is huge improvement there. He has plenty of speed, you saw that last year. What he also has now is stamina. With the two of them, we have a proper racehorse. He'll be out of handicaps now, so we'll look at Listed or group races.

Quotes on Camino Vino (IRE)
Eddie and Wendy (O'Leary, owners) had her at the breeze-ups in May but she wasn't making enough money. Eddie liked her so much that he decided to hang on to her, and she just took time to mature and develop. I think she is going to do well with a little bit more time, she's a lovely big filly and will be lovely in time. Gavin just said she's a lovely, uncomplicated, straightforward filly. He said to jump out wherever you are, get in a rhythm and just make the best of your way home then and see how you go. He said she is doing everything right at home, and said he would be disappointed if she didn't run a big race. She hit the line strong and it was a great trip for a first time out. I definitely think she will step up in trip in time.

Quotes on Miss Romagna (IRE)
That was lovely. She’s my first runner for Giampiero Vellucci so I’m delighted. He was just on there and he’s absolutely thrilled. He’s a solicitor in Italy. She’s a big weak filly and the more time we gave her, the more she has strengthened up. She has always shown ability. I was a bit worried that the track here might be a bit tight for her. She was on the front end and Billy dictated. I thought he got it spot on. She met a bit of trouble the last day, but I think she was a bit weak and was wandering. Today, she had her ears pricked everywhere and was enjoying it. She’s not really a handicap-type filly. We’ll try and snatch a bit of black type with her. She’s a big filly and I don’t think she’ll suit handicaps, she’s not mentally there yet. Smaller fields will suit her.
