Cheltenham
Thu 12th Mar

Formscan  - The ante-post betting would suggest the home contingent are fancied to get one over on their Irish counterparts, not least because the highly-progessive C'est Different gets in under a handy weight. Absolutely Doyen is just as progressive, although Kikijo and Electric Mason have both been effective at this venue in the past and could offer the bigger threat. All that being said, the prize might head back across the Irish Sea courtesy of MINELLA EMPEROR. Kept to maiden/novice company for much of the season, Emmet Mullins' seven-year-old hit the woodwork on his handicap bow when qualifying for this race at Haydock last month. Just 1lb higher and with owner/regular rider Michael O'Neill back aboard, the British handicapper might have underestimated his ability. Stable companion Melbourne Shamrock is another to note, and top-weight Staffordshire Knot makes some appeal too on the back of his Boyne Hurdle triumph.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Staffordshire Knot (IRE)

we couldn't get Staffordshire Knot to finish races last year, but this year he has just turned the corner. Even looking at him, he is a different horse and I was very happy with his run. I thought it was a good performance and he had fitness on his side. He's qualified for the Pertemps in Cheltenham, so could end up somewhere like that but we'll see as there are Grade 2s and Grade 3s around Ireland where he could pick up a cheque every day.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Minella Sixo (IRE)

He stays galloping and even in Cheltenham the last day, he was off it with a mile to go but stayed going. He is an honest horse who will win loads of races. He mightn't run on winter heavy ground but there could be a race back at Cheltenham for him in December. There are a couple of lads from America involved (with Pioneer Racing), this is their second horse so they're having some luck, which is great.

Quotes on Melbourne Shamrock (IRE)

It was a gritty performance. He’s been knocking on the door in a few nicer races,. It’s a great win to get for Robert, to get him qualified for Cheltenham. I’d say he should take his place in the Pertemps Final, once he gets into the race. Hopefully that won’t leave a mark on him but he is a tough, hardy, horse. Fingers crossed we can be competitive. If it was slower ground he is a thorough stayer. Ground dependent, I’d give him a chance. He’ll be a real nice staying chaser next year. Fingers crossed there might be a nice staying handicap chase in him somewhere along the line.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Letos (FR)

I think there is more to come, he’s only five and he’s a huge horse. He might bring us to where we dream of going,. He seems to be just a natural jumper. He’s already run over fences in Auteuil which has given him an eye for where to put his feet. Danny said he did everything perfect, only idled when he got to the front. We don’t know where we’re going because he’s handicapped over fences as well. I said to the owner before the race that if he’s not the real one that I think he is, he won’t win. He has to win this one to be the real one that I believe he is. He’s nearly 17.2 (hands high) and he’s only five. I have big dreams.
