Formscan By Mark Nunan - GAME ON ran well in two competitive point-to-points and won a good-ground maiden hurdle at Downpatrick just over a year ago. He sustained an overreach when pulled up on his chasing debut at Kilbeggan and his trainer has described him as ‘a real fast-ground horse who jumps very well’. Sporting Glance won a point-to-point and progressed well in staying hurdles in the autumn. He holds the highest hurdles rating of any of these and looks a likely contender. Some Song was a lucky winner of a maiden hurdle at Down Royal in October, but he is a point-to-point winner and represents a trainer with a good strike-rate in this type of contest. %0A

Quotes on Game On (GB)

It was a good horse (Toad Hall) we followed the last day and he kind of dragged us out and it kind of half killed him, so we said today we wouldn't just send him as far out. I think we will go straight over fences with him now. He's a real fast-ground horse, he jumps very well.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Haveigotnewsforyou (IRE)

He’d a nice run the first day and he’s improved from it, . He probably doesn’t kill himself at home. He’s a big baby and has improved from a nice first run. He didn’t seem to mind the ground and we’ll dream on. We’ll have a chat and make a plan.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Some Song (IRE)

We were fortunate winners, obviously, but he's a nice horse. Darragh said he just got a bit tired after he jumped the third last and they just quickened away from him. Delighted for Mike Roden, his first winner, and he is one of the owners of the racecourse. We said we would come up and give him a run, and didn't think we would be winning, but there you go - happy days, we are delighted!

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Sporting Glance (FR)

Exactly, the 7lb off (claim) just levelled it there. He was impressive there and did it very well. Eoin thought he had gears there again today, so he is probably versatile enough. It is nice to see him do that on a bit of softer ground as well. That is soft enough out there now and it takes a bit of getting. We won't rush him, we won't overface him but he is a nice horse to have and hopefully he keeps progressing.

Quotes on Ad Caelum (IRE)
