Formscan By John O'Riordan - Having bumped into a smart sort when runner-up at Wexford last month, SUPERSUNDAE can go one better. Off the mark over fences in impressive fashion on his penultimate start at Kilbeggan, the Willie Mullins-trained gelding remains unexposed as a chaser. Easily the best of these over hurdles, this looks a nice opportunity for the son of Authorized to resume winning ways. Sky Lord has yet to open his account over fences but has picked up plenty experience, including when seventh in a well contested handicap at the festival here in April. He looks the main danger. Winning point-to-pointer Ma Jacks Hill is entitled to improve from his recent chasing debut when third at Limerick last month.

Quotes on Sky Lord (GB)
He jumped well, Darragh was brilliant on him and I'm delighted for the Holians. He is a nice young horse, came to us highly thought of and ran well in a bumper last season. We're lucky to have him, he is a gorgeous big horse who has plenty of pace. I was worried he might be keen but they went a nice gallop and he was good. We came to try and win our maiden hurdle so that's done now and we might look to one of those novice hurdles in January now as Christmas will probably come too soon.

Quotes on Jolie Jewel (FR)
She had been highly strung but is calming down. She was very calm in the parade ring for her two previous runs, when she ran no race, and was calm again today, so I worried. Like always in order to get her settled, we dropped her in and they probably stopped in front. Sometimes when the pack goes no gallop, you can get lost out of her ground but other times you can come home looking like Arazi!. she had been awfully consistent all through the summer but paid the price for that consistency in that she stayed high in the handicap, although had come down a couple of pounds today. Thurles has the tightest ground you'll find at this time of year and it suits. We'll go to Leopardstown now at Christmas as her owner loves to have a runner there.
