Formscan By John O'Riordan - THE BIG WESTERNER(1), who signed off last season with a Grade 2 success at Limerick in December, should be hard to beat dropped in class. She's open to plenty of improvement over fences too, but so is Bossofthebrownies, who has yet to run a poor race over the larger obstacles, and was an extremely creditable third in a Naas Grade 3 283 days ago. The Enabler finished third, albeit well held, in the Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse last time, and that excess stamina could bring the Gordon Elliott-trained gelding into calculations if the rain arrived.

Quotes on Bossofthebrownies (IRE)
he has a bit of age and fences made a difference as he was crying out for them. He had some good form, he was second a few times but you can’t beat age. That’s his game anyway, he jumped great for his first time out. I’ll play it by ear now. The three-milers are hard to find and he’ll have to prove himself to be a graded horse before we think of that.

Quotes on Rocky's Diamond (IRE)
That was brilliant, it was some round of jumping to be fair. I was a bit worried beforehand that he had been very exuberant at home, standing off outside the wings. I was saying ‘if he gets one of these wrong, it’s not going to be good’. I’d say when he’s going on in a race, going faster, he does know what he’s doing even though he’s very exuberant. He’s a very good jumper. Michael had done a good bit of schooling on him, he knows when you see a long one on him just to go for it. I didn’t really want to go to Listowel as the fences are a little bit bigger and they are trappier. I wanted to get that out of the way, so we can afford to sit back and chill now a little and see where we go. We’ll probably look for a graded race somewhere. The Florida Pearl at Punchestown at the end of November is three miles - we’ll see. He’s only in nine weeks as well, which is a fair trial of him. He only came in on the first of July. He’s only tipping away, but he has a lot of natural ability - he’s a very good horse. It’s unreal to have a horse like him, I’m just pinching myself every day. It’s great.

Quotes on The Enabler (IRE)
That was great. He jumped great but Jack said he was very idle in front, going a bit left and right. He was a bit leery in front,. He’s a nice horse, we knew he had improved from the first day so we’re happy. You’ll probably see him going handicap chasing now rather than graded races. We’ll keep it small.

Quotes on Sandor Clegane (IRE)
He is a horse that gets into a nice rhythm and jumps well, he was probably jumping too well to that hurdle (second-last) and he just met it on a half stride. A bit of a guess just when we were starting to get rolling. Overall, he's a good jumper and it was a good performance. The two of us (Three Card Brag) probably were in the same boat in that we wanted a nice gallop, but neither of us were really mad to make it. We went along upsides and we went a nice, even gallop all the way. It kind of suited both of us and, in fairness, this lad picked up nicely into the straight. It is beautiful ground - it is just yielding, it isn't any slower. It is lovely jumping ground. We didn't declare for the Grade 1, we had a talk and some were for it and some against it. If he wasn't going to win this, he wasn't going to win the Grade 1 in an hour's time. Why take on a horse rated 10lb above you? He'd won one maiden hurdle and is the best horse we have in the yard, so it's nice to get another win with him. He'd prefer easier ground, it's as nice as he'd want it, but it's lovely ground and the track looks fantastic. Next to my father Dan Browne is the greatest gentleman I ever met and is a great supporter for the yard. I delighted for Jim Coffey and all the lads involved. It means an awful lot for every trainer to win here and thanks be to God we got one. We'll probably start off over two-and-a-half over fences next season and build it up. Please God it will lead to Cheltenham again. It's nice

That was great. I thought she was well handicapped on her maiden hurdle form, but she just lost her way,. She’s been working very well for the last couple of weeks, so we were expecting a big run from her today.
