Curragh
Sat 28th Mar

Formscan By Gary Carson - There could be more to come from NANCEE SPAIN this season. The Calyx filly really blossomed on her final start last term, after some promising efforts, when scoring by a wide margin in Roscommon. She looked like a strong galloper in testing conditions that day and the big track here should play to her strengths. Neptunes Staircase was also an impressive winner at Roscommon on his last start but that did come back in July 2024. Ger Lyons is sure to have him fairly fit for his return though and he’s respected. Factual Fact was narrowly denied in a maiden here last November, by a smart mare in Switch From Diesel, and he is another for the shortlist.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Dutch Gold (IRE)

It wasn't the plan to be as handy but they went slow and he just jumped so quick. I think he is a good horse. He won very easy in the North. On his next run at Navan, the reins broke and he was never able to get into the race. Last time at Leopardstown, the stupid trainer ran him over too far! . I gelded him after that. The plan has always been to go jumping and he has schooled well. He is owned by a jumping man; his owner has Jeff Kidder. He is entered on Sunday in a three-year-old handicap and I'd say it's quite possible he could run.

Quotes on Blue Moon Boy (IRE)

He won his maiden at Galway and then ran really well in a conditions race there last month. He ran against good older horses then and the fourth (Grey Leader) won yesterday. . I thought this was an ideal race and in fairness to Niall McCullagh, who rode him work last week, he said he'd get this distance. Julian gave him a lovely ride. We thought a lot of him as a two-year-old but he took a bit of time and only does what he has to. He is very honest and I'm delighted for his really loyal German owner/breeder Dr Gerhard Matte, who has actually never been over to see him. . He has done a lot of schooling, so now that he has proven he stays and handles easy ground, he should make a nice hurdler.

Quotes on Coul Dreamer (IRE)

I'm delighted as he's a locally owned horse. Ray Jennings and Phil McAuley, an electrician, are both from Naas and they bought this fella as a foal,. He's a beautiful big horse and I was always taking my time with him on the Flat. . I thought he ran a lovely race to be third here on the Flat but just didn't get through the ground. He's much stronger now. . I thought he jumped beautifully there and was in a lovely rhythm. I thought he did that well. . He was going around 'the eight' on the Curragh the last day with a lead horse and jumped by him and went around on his own so I said to Ricky to let him enjoy himself today and, if he makes ground at a hurdle, don't pull him back. He winged everything. . He felt he was just cruising along and didn't think he was going fast.  . We'll maybe aim at the graded race in Fairyhouse, we think a lot of him.

Quotes on Nancee Spain (IRE)

I thought the last day in Thurles that the winner sprinted past her and then she kept battling to the line, it wasn’t her fault,. I said to Ben today on that ground to put them to the sword and he did. He gave her a brilliant ride. He said he had to keep the gun to her head the whole way as she’s a filly that if you lay off her she’d turn around on you. She is a little bit strange but she has plenty of ability. She is a slow learner and hopefully there is still plenty of improvement in her. I think she’ll go on any ground but the Calyxs seem to want a cut in the ground. That might be her for the year. There is a mile-and-six in Navan next week but I’d rather step her up in trip next year. She’s had a lot of runs close together.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Arch Enemy (IRE)

We would have been disappointed if she didn’t do that. She’s special to us as we don’t have anything in the yard like her. She’ll go to Leopardstown at Christmas and is definitely better around there than any other track in the country. There is a novice handicap and a mares' race and she will be entered in both. She is due to get a break at some stage before going back on the Flat and is very versatile ground wise.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Tassarolo (GB)

Gavin gave Tassarolo a very good ride and while he has only ridden a few horses for us, he had won a maiden hurdle on this horse and is a talented young rider. Gavin rode Tassarolo the last day and knew him, so we kept riding arrangements the same. It was a great result for me and while it was hard luck on the owners (Final Reminder Syndicate) of the runner-up, both horses ran well. The two horses are very similar and there were a lot of people asking me ‘which one?’ today, but they are similarly rated and really I couldn’t split them. Both were going up in trip but it was just which one would see it out better, and the winner did. Tassarolo is owned by our local publican (in the Full Of Hope Syndicate) and unfortunately one of the members John O’Shea passed away the day the horse won his maiden hurdle. He has a rating of 62 on the Flat so can go back to there too so there are options with him.
