FormscanBy Mark Nunan - CAPTAINS SPEECH won a point-to-point on testing ground in 2024, and then had a long spell on the sidelines before finishing second over 2m4f at Cork in March. He was miles clear of the third when again finding one too good over that trip at Wexford, and is taken to get off the mark now with this greater test of stamina set to suit. Quest For Answers was bought for 170,000 pounds after an impressive point-to-point victory in November and is an intriguing addition to Mouse Morris' stable. The Rebel Fox shaped well on Rules debut when a never-nearer fifth over 2m3f at Naas.
