Formscan By Mark Nunan - Having looked limited over hurdles, ANOTHER CHALLENGE showed much improved form on chase debut when second in a Down Royal handicap over Christmas. The third won recently and Oliver McKiernan’s six-year-old is bred to appreciate the extra two furlongs that he races over here. Since the selection’s latest outing, his stable has enjoyed a revival in form and he can add to its recent fruitful spell. Royal Time was a long way behind Another Challenge at Down Royal in December, but ran a much better race when third back there the following month and he is now tried in blinkers. Another Ocana has a good record at this venue and has place claims. %0A

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Ferdia (IRE)

I really like this horse. I brought him to Ballinrobe first time out and he was as green as grass. I didn't think it would be possible for him to win but he did. Philip wasn't over hard on him the last day behind Barry Connell's horse but the next time he meets him it'll be a different ball game. This trip is totally too short for him. He is a two-and-a-half to two-mile-six horse. His work at home is real classy. The dam is a half-sister to a good horse Paul Nicholls had (El Bandit).

Quotes on Royal Time (IRE)

I'm delighted with that. I don't really follow the point-to-points, but I was asking Karl Thornton who is a good young lad and he said that this lad could ride. He was right. It was a very cool ride. It's his first winner on the track but he has seven winners this season pointing. The horse jumped very well, he just made a mess of the last but stayed on well.

Quotes on Another Ocana (IRE)

Eon was actually fairly happy going to the final fence as he was letting him fill up a bit and they gave it one go. He is a real course specialist and puts his best foot forward here. We came here today with the intention of putting him away for the summer and that's what we'll do. There is a Meathman, a Galwayman and the rest of the (nine-member Tribes, Royals & Rebels Syndicate) owners are from Cork.

Quotes on Zolpharine (IRE)

This is a lovely horse, he's a half-brother to Fairyhill Run,. My cousin Tom Meagher bred him and the mother died when he was only three weeks old. Then his foster mother had bits of problems, it's only now he's growing into a horse. He's a useful horse. He'll go to Listowel now for the winners of one novice. He wants further, he's out of a Flemensfirth mare. Fairyhill Run is a brilliant mare, she won a lot for us. She got an injury but it looks like she'll come back. I'd say he's way better than her, he's exciting. He's not very big yet but he's a nice one and he won that race with a bit in hand.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Likable Chancer (IRE)

I've won on him before in Ballinrobe and I've ridden him plenty of times. He is a deadly spin and is a super jumper. He likes getting his own way out in front but they were kind of taking me on there today. In fairness he battled well, he was good and tough and needed to be. He is not overly big, so he liked the nice, tight track and gets around the bends well. His jumping is so good he can gain lengths. He is a great horse to ride and a great horse for Danny to have. The owners get a good kick out of it as well.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Eddies Pride (IRE)

It was a pity to run both horses against each other and we had planned in keeping them separately, but with so many meetings being called off it was a great result. We had a one-two previously in Ballinrobe and they are grand, solid, old mares who are healthy and well and will stay going as long as there is an ease in the ground. They'll either be put in foal this or next year. The winner is owed by Eddie Naughton who is a good supporter of ours and the mare is doing her job away at her level. Gary gave her a great spin.
