Formscan By Gary Carson - CAMINO LAD comes here in fine form and can land a small-field event. The Flintshire gelding won a maiden at Bellewstown on his penultimate start and ran a big race here when going down by half-a-length to the more experienced Quatre Bras on his handicap debut a fortnight ago. Connections try him up in trip again now. Cooley’s Mist has been knocking on the door and looks an obvious danger. English import Serenity Blue is another to note on his first start for Ado McGuinness. He had been easing a bit in the ratings before his purchase and could be nicely treated now.%0A%0A

Quotes on Dark Viper (GB)
He loves Leopardstown. All his wins have been here. He comes around that corner and says 'my stable is there, my horsebox is there'. He seemed to be happy going forward and I just think he was a happy horse today. He was very unlucky a fortnight ago. I don't think I'll run him anywhere else! . The fact that he gets a mile and a quarter now is great. He loves that ground. He's won on heavy ground. He sort of comes around that bend on two wheels. He corners well.

Quotes on Camino Lad (IRE)
I just hope Dylan (Browne McMonagle) is alright - you can ride all the big winners you want and then this is what happens. Hopefully, he is alright. You don't like seeing that (fall). I genuinely thought I was second, I obviously need to go to Specsavers! Johnny (Murtagh) said 'I don't know' and I said, 'Don't be silly, I'm second and beaten a head. I said I would have a score with him. I would have been happy to pay the score!. Great ride from him. He really is a backend four-year-old, not a three-year-old, and he's not a miler. I just took a gamble because it was horses rated such and a median type of maiden to put him in, and he's game. Colin wanted headgear on him and we put the headgear on him and it worked - everything worked. We are lucky around here.

Quotes on Cooley's Mist (IRE)
He prefers a little bit of ease. Maybe two mile in Galway could be a possibility, if he gets an ease. . He's in here next week as well over a mile and seven. If it doesn't rain, he won't be going anywhere. Chris was good on him, I have to say.
