Formscan By Tom Weekes - YORADREAMER has nice recent form and can put race-fitness to good use. Winner of a Downpatrick maiden hurdle last June, the selection was soundly beaten on his January chase debut but stepped forward when finishing second at Gowran. That race’s winner finished fourth in a Cheltenham handicap last week, while other useful rivals were in behind. Kevin’s Pride defeated a dual subsequent-winner to score over hurdles last October but today’s testing going is a concern. Great Attitude landed a right touch at Fairyhouse last year and while better than his Galway festival effort last July, would prefer a sounder surface and lacks race-fitness.

Quotes on Kevin's Pride (IRE)
It is great to win primarily because of the owners involved and they have been very patient with the horse and with me, as we had been disappointed with how he had done over hurdles up until now. He is my first horse for them and I told them he was a nice horse, so they were very good to trust me. You can see he is not a natural hurdler and jumps a lot better over a chase fence, so that's where he'll be going next, I'd say. . I had been disappointed with him since his bumper win but there is still a nice horse in him and he has much better use of himself over a chase fence. Today's distance (2m4f) is his minimum and he will come into his own over three miles-plus.

Quotes on Waittillitellyou (IRE)
We had him fit to run, I suppose, in October, but he is a horse that broke down very badly on me as a five-year-old. I have to wait until I get his right ground - he loves it bottomless. I thought they would call it off that day he won in Cork, he can't have it deep enough. I thought it might be just too tacky for him here today because it is quite tacky. He was mighty through it, he absolutely loved it. He's a huge, big horse. If Fairyhouse at Easter turned up minimum soft, he might go there.

Quotes on Yoradreamer (GB)
He's been very consistent. The owner, Mr Brookhouse, has been very patient. Sean Cleary-Farrell is obviously on a roll as well, so he did everything right. We always love having winners up here.
