Formscan By Mark Nunan - CONNOVA was drawn wide when a never-nearer third to a subsequent winner over course and distance last month and, crucially, Sheila Lavery’s runner now has a much better berth in stall 2. There was money for the daughter of Saxon Warrior when fourth on handicap debut at Gowran, and she got much closer here last time when a subsequent winner was also behind her in fifth. Curious Jane, from a respected yard, is one that could go well at a price. She wasn’t beaten far in an all-aged affair at Leopardstown and is now tried in headgear. A winner over 1m4f at Bellewstown, Private Larry went close over hurdles on Friday and may have enough pace for this sharper test. %0A

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Private Larry (IRE)

You'd be worried (about the trip) being by Inns Of Court, but Gavin thought a mile and a half is his trip. Gavin was adamant for a long time. It was a mile and one in Leopardstown and he broke really badly that day as well. I think today he broke a bit better. I know he was out the back, but Gavin has timed it perfectly. There's hurdling options as well. He has schooled a lot over hurdles. We have the option of going to Killarney in two weeks for the three-year-old maiden there. He jumps very well actually, he's a real natural jumper. I think hurdling should probably be his future. He really likes it and has taken to jumping very well. Gavin is a great fella and any time I need him to ride work he's there. He is attached to some big yards and is flying. I didn't want any jockey bar Gavin to ride him today because I just knew he would know him so well. He just gave him the perfect ride and crept away.
