Formscan By Tom Weekes - High-class DINOBLUE concedes weight but is a cut above today’s rivals. The selection has appeared at five consecutive Cheltenham festivals, winning twice in 2025 and last March, while also finishing second twice, in 2023 and ‘24. She now returns to the course where it all began back in January 2022, and while today’s good ground will be plenty fast enough, should win comfortably. A Snow White Park is no slouch and scored at Grade 3 level in September but will struggle to lay a glove on the selection. Jolie Jewel is declared to run on Tuesday and looks third-best, with black-type up for grabs.

Quotes on Dinoblue (FR)
Dinoblue was very good today although I was hoping that Allegorie might get her own back after Cheltenham but it wasn’t going to be that way. Allegorie (a dual Grade 2 winner) is in foal to Jukebox Jury so she’s retired now. Dinoblue looks to be getting better and better and hopefully we have her for next season. I don’t see her going to stud for a while yet.

Quotes on A Snow White Park (IRE)
It was a great ride and we've had great fun with the mare, as she runs well most days,. I don't give Danny any instructions, he does his own thing and he knows the mare. She wants top of the ground and gets lost when it goes soft. She loved it today and we'll see where we go now. There are mares' chases for her and she has the option of going back hurdling as well.

Quotes on Bynx (IRE)
When I sold her to the boys (BTF Racing Club), I said we'd win a Flat race and a hurdle race and we also managed a chase in the middle, so now I have the triple crown!. She won a good hurdle race on bottomless ground here one New Year's Daym and is a great little mare. She loves it down here and both Paddy (Harnett) and I needed that winner. He gave her a peach of a ride. Fair play to Jamie Bergin, who is the head of the syndicate, as keeping 20 lads happy is never easy and he had been getting stick for her not winning on the Flat. The lads are all training for Drom & Inch (Tipperary) tonight and there's a match Friday night, so I said the hurling comes first. They are all good hurling men but other than that, they'd all be here.

Quotes on Chosen Shant (IRE)
She’s a bit of fun. We got her last year, she hadn’t won anything, and she just likes our place,. She’s very happy at home. She loves her work but when we got her first she didn’t like it. After about two months she sweetened up. I’d love to have got her when she was a five-year-old, it’s near the end of her career but it’s fantastic to get a win no matter what. He said that was the best she’s felt when he’s rode her, that she travelled unbelievably well. That she was on the bridle nearly all the way. She’s carrying me up the gallop every day, no wonder she looked back at Phillip and saw nothing!. She could come back here at the end of October. We’ll probably go to Listowel. Tom Maher is probably going to breed from her. I’m not interested in breeding horses, I’m too old for that. By the time the foal would be four, I’d be on a Zimmer frame!. We enjoy every win and Wexford has been very good to us over the years. She’s won here four times now. The left-handed track definitely suits her. Any time we’ve ran her right-handed, anywhere sharp, she wouldn’t travel.

Quotes on Jolie Jewel (FR)
She had been highly strung but is calming down. She was very calm in the parade ring for her two previous runs, when she ran no race, and was calm again today, so I worried. Like always in order to get her settled, we dropped her in and they probably stopped in front. Sometimes when the pack goes no gallop, you can get lost out of her ground but other times you can come home looking like Arazi!. she had been awfully consistent all through the summer but paid the price for that consistency in that she stayed high in the handicap, although had come down a couple of pounds today. Thurles has the tightest ground you'll find at this time of year and it suits. We'll go to Leopardstown now at Christmas as her owner loves to have a runner there.
