Formscan By John O'Riordan - Course and distance winner APACHE OUTLAW(2) should take the beating now dropping into claiming company. Arguably at his best over this trip, the Ado McGuinness-trained gelding has been running respectably in better races all season. Well treated at these weights, the son of Churchill looks to have been found an ideal opportunity. His stablemate Go Athletico has yet to win on the all-weather, but has had very few tries on it. Placed once from three starts on an artificial surface, the eight-year-old certainly deserves respect in this grade. The Johnny Murtagh-trained Saint Acclaim has already proven his ability to act at this circuit and is open to improvement.

Quotes on Apache Outlaw (IRE)
The other horse, Current Option, is a very good horse and he owes us nothing. Apache Outlaw is on the way up. The other horse's best days are behind him, but he is still well able to compete in good races. I think he (Apache Outlaw) is a smart horse and he is going to go on a break now. We might want another run if we want to go to the All-Weather Finals, but we will look at that type of a target for him. It will be Newcastle - more money in Newcastle!. Ronnie is a top-class rider and he has been very lucky for me.

Quotes on Go Athletico (FR)
It's a nice birthday present, I'm the big six oh today,. I suppose class is permanent and form is temporary and he did lose his form big time. He slipped back down and we were very disappointed with him. He does want juice in the ground. The ground is kind, I wouldn't say it’s slow or anything but it is beautiful. He's a good horse, we were beating Big Gossey off levels 18 months ago here in group races and he's definitely come back. He was in really good form. We went back to five last time and we probably shouldn't have. It think six or seven is his real trip now. He'll probably pitch up in Galway now in the Ahonoora, that's where he’s going to go next. I’m delighted for the lads, Jimmy (Fairhurst) is a big patron and big supporter of mine, and for Cyril (McMullan). The other two horses (Goal Exceeded and Apache Outlaw, finished 7th and 8th) ran very well for me as well so I’m delighted. We were mad keen to get him back (at the sales). I just felt if we could get him back at all there always going to be a day like this in him, whether or not he could get back to group company. I'd have to win two Listed races to get the same prize money. With a gelding like that I'd rather go for good premier handicaps. I'm delighted for the horse and all the boys involved.
