Formscan By John O'Riordan - MYWAYOFTHINKIN(2) could be worth chancing on his return to action. Although yet to replicate his hurdling form over fences, the Gavin Cromwell-trained gelding is relatively lightly-raced. Given that he made the switch to the larger obstacles last season at a period when the stable was out of form, the seven-year-old could yet prove to be nicely handicapped. Moylussa has shaped well enough on two runs over fences to date to suggest that he can make his presence felt. A son of Jukebox Jury, the gelding ran a big race when runner-up at Cork last time. Koori Star is another that gives the impression that he has more to offer over fences.

Quotes on Shellrunforbriggs (IRE)
She’s a good mare, she’s big and scopey. . In fairness to these small tracks around the country, they do a great job and we’re delighted to be able to come up. We got great word on the track from the last meeting, and the agent Gary Cribbin told us we’d be guaranteed that type of ground. My career is shoving on a bit now and we’re lucky to come across a mare like her. She’s actually a homebred. We produced the mother for the lads (Going Stone Mad Syndicate) and they went to Harzand themselves with her. I told the boys that we’ll surely be heading for some kind of a race in the likes of Cheltenham in maybe December. She has the scope to do it anyway, her jumping is something else.

Quotes on Mywayofthinkin (IRE)
That was grand, we were glad to see the bit of rain coming this morning. It's lovely ground and if the rain didn't come we may not have been running,. He had a hard enough race in both bumpers and it was the sensible thing to do (go hurdling). He'll be going back home to Martinstown shortly. He was a little bit deliberate and careful everywhere but professional over the last two when he was needed. He went to the line well and it was nice.

Quotes on Luimneach (IRE)
He is a super horse to get and thanks to Dessie (McDonogh, previous trainer) as well, as he had all the hard work done. I just had to change a few things with him. It's funny as, at home, he works unbelievably well and, obviously, with his name (translated to JP McManus' home county of Limerick), he must have been showing that as a young horse. His jumping has let him down at times, but he got into a lovely rhythm today. I wasn't sure if stepping him up to the 0-130 grade was the right thing to do, but there was nothing else for him. The race fell apart with two fallers at the first, but you can only go and win. He seems versatile ground-wise and, like a lot of those older horses, maybe a change of yard rekindles things a bit. In For The Night finished third here yesterday, also for JP, so they are two lucky horses for us to have.

Quotes on Moylussa (IRE)
That was brilliant and I'm delighted for Seamus and the family, who have put a lot of belief in me. They have stuck with me so long and I believe this horse is much better than what he has shown so far. I'm from Germany, have been in Ireland nearly 13 years and have a show-jumping background. I decided to change at the end of 2012 and came across Mark Molloy (trainer) who asked me had I ever ridden a thoroughbred and I said no, so stayed with him and fell in love with the point-to-pointers. I learned a lot from Mark and then moved to Henry De Bromhead where I also learned a lot, so then jumped and did it on my own. I'm mainly focused on point-to-pointers, only have a couple of runners for the track and am based in Nenagh, in Tom Hogan's yard. I have loads of young stock coming along and have plenty good owners so without them I couldn't do it. Seamus and his family are from Ballina/Killaloe and I have a couple of young horses for them too so this is brilliant.
