Formscan By Shane Redmond - INVINCIBLE WILL (6) did well to finish as close as he did over an extended seven furlongs here last week after a sluggish start. He'll be a different proposition if getting away on terms this time and might certainly improve for the step back up in distance. Aviatrice beat Jancis to win a Listed race over this trip at Dundalk in November of last year and she has shown up well in top handicaps over six and seven furlongs since. How'sthebai was a winner over nine furlongs on soft ground here early last month and went well again over the same distance at the Curragh on Irish Derby weekend. Loughrea won his maiden at the Curragh last time and runs in his first handicap now while Quatre Bras makes a quick reappearance after running at Killarney on Monday evening.

Quotes on Aviatrice (IRE)
She's a very good filly and she's getting better. She travels well and it is the end of the season too. I think there is a lot more to come. Her fractions here last month were very hot. She's a brilliant filly and improving, she's tough. She loves that surface and will make a better four-year-old. She's in the December Mares Sale, so she is going to go there. It is the terms of the syndicate again, a bit like East Hampton last week. I would love if somebody bought her and kept her with us - that would be the dream. She is going to be a valuable mare now.

Quotes on Loughrea (IRE)
He is nice. Sam said he was in front too soon. He said he was pulling up and when the other horse came to him he kind of went on again,. I was putting it that he ran to a rating of 91 in Gowran. It was going to take a fair maiden to beat him today. He probably wants a mile-and-a-quarter as well. . John Houlihan owns him. He is a son-in-law of Pat Tallis who used to train. This horse is from the same family as that good horse they used to have, Acushladear. If anyone comes with money, he'll take it. It's hard for a four-year-old to win giving that much weight away.

Quotes on Exquisite Acclaim (IRE)
A horse like him, he's very consistent - he always gets his couple of races. It is great to get him back in front. He's a great fun horse and he pays his way. There's a race in Newcastle next week, it is 35 grand, and we might slip into it. It is for 0-85s, I think. We'll have to see with the ratings, but we might go there.

Quotes on How'sthebai (IRE)
That was grand. The only question mark was the ground,. He’s a lovely horse; I love him. He's a lovely big honest horse. I've been very lucky with the sire, Bated Breath. As Colin said, the form of his last race was there with winners all around him. So we knew we had him in the right race, but we were worried about the ground. He got through it.

Quotes on Invincible Will (IRE)
He’s been a frustrating horse. The last day in Naas Robbie (Whearty) rode him and he was almost a runaway, and he’s done that a few days. We’ve done a lot of work with him at home, and we’ve even schooled him over hurdles and fences to settle his head a bit. There was plenty of pace on there today, which was ideal. It’s grand that he hung on anyway. A mile is no problem to him as long as they go a gallop. He’s learning to settle better.

Quotes on Tachos (IRE)
She’s American owned by Greg Ryan and this filly has been a model of consistency. Chris was a long way back but they had gone pretty quick and she’s a very genuine filly. There is a fillies handicap here next week and she could very well be back for the same course and distance.
