Formscan By Mark Nunan - MISTYBURN was a remote second at Ballinrobe in September, but if Philip Rothwell’s charge could get the back to the form of his Galway festival third the previous month, he would take a bit of beating. The Policy Maker gelding stays well and likes good ground. Nine-year-old Schiehallion recorded a first success when winning readily over 3m at Downpatrick. He seems to have improved for the fitting of a visor and, despite an 8lb higher mark, can contend again. Ceroc comes here in good form, but his propensity to jump left was in evidence again at Clonmel and is a concern around here. Urbs Intacta Manet showed a first glimpse of winning potential when a close third at Killarney. %0A%0A%0A

Quotes on Ad Caelum (IRE)
She was very unlucky in this race last year, she had the race won and unseated at the last,. She’s a gorgeous mare. She hasn’t got going over fences yet, but she will. She’s going to make a smashing chaser. The dam is a half-sister to a Grade 1 winner (Spirit Of Adjisa). We bred her ourselves and she’s by the mighty Cloudings.

Quotes on Schiehallion (IRE)
He has been consistent without winning,. I always thought he would win a race and he's a good jumper. He seems to like it around here which is a big help.

Quotes on Andyourbirdcansing (IRE)
when things are going well it is great and I'm getting great support so hopefully I'll keep it going. She's tough, stuck at it very well and going to the last, I knew I'd saved a bit. She dug deep and stayed going really well to the line. John's horses don't know when to stop. He's given me plenty of support over the years and I'm very grateful for it.

Quotes on Mistyburn (IRE)
I’m thrilled. Darragh and I would be very good friends, we don’t get him as often now as we have our own people at home. I’m delighted to support him and try and get him a winner or two. It’s wonderful for the owners (Nice Little Earner Syndicate), they are a great bunch of guys. He ran a nice race in Cork the last day. I said to Darragh that he was probably a big horse for around here and to take his time and sneak away. He’s class. Tiernan (Power Roche) gave the other horse (Plain Or Battered) a very good ride to finish second as well, he stayed going really well. I didn’t think either horse would handle the track but, with the night that’s in it (leading the William Hill Each Way Extra Challenge Series), we had to give it a good go. It’s marvellous that it’s paid off. Winning the series is huge and that helps with the stable staff prize as well. I know Gavin (Cromwell) is chasing us hard for that. It’s lovely winning my own prize, but it would be fabulous if we could win the stable staff one as well.

Quotes on Hit The Frame (GB)
He deserved that. He ran a cracker in Roscommon and ran a good race the last day where we probably didn't make enough use of him. I said to Sean today to just use his jumping and his jumping won it for him. I was very worried half an hour ago when the fences were taken out of the previous race, that wouldn't of suited us at all, but thankfully they came back in. Liam Quinlan gave him a great ride in Roscommon and that was his first sort of good run. He tried to make all that day too. He is just a very, very good jumper when he gets into that rhythm. I was watching the races and there was horses behind making lots of mistakes, he just puts them under pressure. I ran him today after last week because there is not another race for him for about another five weeks, a three-mile plus race. We just said we'd chance running him and see what happens and thankfully it worked out. The owners are local to me in Tramore and there is a couple of Portlaw men involved too.
