Formscan By Stuart Howden - ONLY FOR OUR MAN arrives in fine fettle. He won nicely at Down Royal in April and went close to defying a 7lb rise when picked off late at Cork last time. Paul Nolan's progressive charge looks worth keeping on side and is taken to edge out Somersby Roost, who returned the easy winner at Cork and steps up in trip with solid claims. Clonmel winner Silent Guardian could make the frame if coping with the faster ground.

Quotes on Whatsavailable (IRE)
I thought he’d make a lovely chaser and he’d two very disappointing runs. I then ran him back over hurdles and he didn’t seem to get home so we said we’d try a tongue tie today and it seems to have worked. He won here before, so he obviously likes the track and he jumped well today. He’s grand at home but gets very worked up when he comes racing so we put the red hood on him before the race. I’m not sure if he’s still qualified for the novice races for another week or two so we might find something.

Quotes on Shesakindofmagic (IRE)
we bought her out of Mags Mullins’ yard in January as she is a half-sister to (stablemate) Kiki Badger and had a good run on debut at Clonmel. I rang Derek O’Connor, who rode her, and he said she’d win during Christmas - but at this meeting last year. She missed the meeting though, as she pulled a muscle so I ended up buying her at the sales in January (for £8,000). I couldn’t believe how cheap she was so this is brilliant and she picks up bonuses for her owners today too.

Quotes on Brideswell Lad (IRE)
That was lovely and staying is his game. He has a staying pedigree and two-and-a-half miles was too tight for him the last day,. He travelled well throughout, J.J. was very pleased with him and gave him a brilliant ride. That was nice to get at the start of the new season but it might be the end for him for a while. He has been on the go a while so might get a break and the Kerry National would be in mind.

Quotes on Way Down South (IRE)
He won his maiden hurdle this time last year and we thought he’d progress from that, but he went backwards. . He just enjoys fences. He ran poorly in Limerick, and it was a gamble bringing him back so fast, but the cheekpieces helped, tongue-tie helped, the ground helped and dropping him back two furlongs helped. . He jumped well. Dan knows him and it does take a jockey to know him. I’m delighted and some of the owners (WDS Syndicate) are here as well.

Quotes on Rhythmic Tune (IRE)
He is from a lovely old family and when I was a child my father bred a very good and related horse Even Melody and another Make Melodies, who he had in training with Edward O'Grady. My father isn't well at the moment so this is a real tonic. My horses are flying thank God and I think this horse will now go for another handicap hurdle.
