Formscan By Gary Carson - EAGLE FANG (7) ran a big race at Leopardstown last time and can go one better now. The Free Eagle gelding lost out by half-a-length to Gaoth Chuil over slightly further then and the winner could boost the form in the preceding race on this card. Arch Empire is a big player if he can run to his official mark of 84. The Doctor Dino gelding was third in this last year but has been well held on recent hurdle outings. Path D’oroux, a decent handicap chaser, is an interesting runner for Gavin Cromwell and market moves would be noteworthy.

Quotes on Ambitious Fellow (IRE)

Sam made a good move to nip up the inner before coming down the hill and it could have been the winning and losing of it. It was a brave move but it worked out great for him,. He lost his form a little bit but had an issue after he ran at Limerick last year and it took him a while to get back right. He had a lovely run the last day when he was completely wrong at the weights, but it gave him confidence coming here. I was worried about the ground but it worked out great. Tthere are four involved in the OGB Partnership including Ber (wife) and after he won a bumper we brought him to the sales but couldn't get anyone to buy him. We brought him home and he has now won at the Punchestown festival and has landed a big pot today. We had four winners last year, we've had good old craic again and it has been brilliant.

Quotes on Catalani (IRE)

Catalani is a real favourite at home, and everyone loves him. His form has been fierce good this year, he hasn't been out of the first three whether it be a point-to-point or on the track bar one day in Thurles. Rob was delighted with him, he said it is as good as he has ever jumped and he loves that good ground. The ground was important to him. He has a real good appetite for the game, and we'll keep him on the go now during the summer.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Eagle Fang (IRE)

last year Eagle Fang was a four-year-old stepping into open company so we knew it would be tough, but he stepped up to the mark. He didn't win a race but ran some good races. He hadn't done a whole pile of schooling over fences and it has only been in the last few weeks that we decided to try it. He isn't a big horse but has a massive heart and is the best horse we have. He is our Tiger Roll and he could now go for one of the Grade 1 novice chases over Christmas. He was just about ready to start today so will come forward and Philip (Byrnes) said he learned plenty. three miles won't bother him and I said to Bill (Durkan) yesterday that I'd love to run him in an Irish National. . Last year he was ridden out in the car park at Cheltenham so didn't get the best trip around, but was beaten only 11 lengths. Maybe if he had been ridden with more cover he could have been placed, but that's just Cheltenham. We haven't had much luck there as it has been like a graveyard to us, but he could be one for the novice handicap chase next March.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Path D'oroux (FR)

I know there were fallers but he won the race in a nice manner. He travels lovely every day, even in the Royal Bond he travelled very well but he cut out in a matter of 50 yards. He ran a lot better in Leopardstown the last day and hopefully he's on the way back. The ground is no bother to him as he's a big strong horse and he has plenty of gears too. I suppose the owners would like to go to Cheltenham for something so we might look at one of the handicaps.

Quotes on Sunny South West (IRE)

I’m very happy with him. In time he’ll want two and a half and that’s probably where we’ll go the next day in Galway. He never jumped those rubber hurdles before and was jumping Easyfix hurdles quite well at home. He had a look at a few of them but will come on a lot from that. He was probably travelling too well and had too much time to think about it going down to the jumps. He’s a horse with plenty of ability and we’ll keep trying till we find exactly how good he is. There is a two and a half mile novice in Galway on the Thursday. Ross (O’Sullivan) won it with a horse called Donnie Devito last year that I sold to him.

Quotes on Ma Belle Etoile (IRE)

We were disappointed with her at Tramore. We hoped we had her back right, which we did thankfully, and I'm delighted for all her connections. She just didn't seem to be 100% at Tramore, but I'm delighted to see her do that today. She's always looked a promising mare. We might enter her in the race at Galway next week (Guinness Open Gate Brewery Novice Chase). It's a blacktype novice chase and it would be great if she could get blacktype. She is a gorgeous looking mare, so it would make her even more valuable as a broodmare going forward. We'll give her the entry, but it's not a firm plan.
