Formscan By Tom Weekes - QUEENOFTHELODGE (12) is a capable four-time hurdle-winner who can score on chase debut, and is helped by receiving 7lb from the geldings in this restricted chase. The selection progressed well over hurdles and having been Grade 3-placed earlier this month, comes here in top form and will be well schooled by this season’s leading point-to-point handler. Mickie Angel ran well over course-and-distance earlier this month and while he has plenty of chase experience, is vulnerable to a more progressive type. Los Blanco was well held at the Punchestown festival in April but had previously shown nice form and can do well over fences.

Quotes on Jackson Lamb (IRE)
There should be more meetings at Bellewstown and Downpatrick! We save on diesel coming here!. He's a very frustrating sort of a horse - you can see there he has plenty of ability, but has his own mind about everything. Ger Fox does a very good job riding him at home and has him nice and switched off. He probably jumped better when they were going quicker than when they were going slower. He steadied into the last, he's okay when he is in tight. He's not one you trust implicitly but has loads of ability. You'd hope so (reach a higher level) - I wouldn't be surprised if he went to England for a little novice hurdle to teach him a little bit more and maybe scare them off a bit!. Then he is going to have to step up, but that was a good pot and when we spotted it, we said we would have a crack at it. Of course, the man on board can't do anything wrong. He has been getting other rides as well which is important, and it is going to be even more important in a couple of days when he loses the claim. The two lads (Alex and Ben Harvey) are excellent riders, it is just there is so much competition over here and that's the problem. Other guys are looking at him to use him as well, so it is great.

Quotes on Kool One (SPA)
On paper he was entitled to win it, but he still had to go and do it. He had a good look at the second last and even the last when he was in front, but he done it nicely enough. We thought he was off a nice mark and he grew a lot during the summer. We let him off after Fairyhouse (in April) and just took our time with him. Galway didn't really work out, the draw killed us, but we fancied him at Roscommon where he made hard work of it, but won anyway. He was fit and well in himself coming here today, so it was nice to see him go and do that. He chased home some good ones over the winter. The Lartigue has been on the cards for a long time, it's sometime we picked out after Cheltenham. It's all systems go for that. I don't know if the handicapper will touch him after today, but he'll probably be still off a nice mark. The Lartigue is a nice race to go for and hopefully he will step up again and be competitive in it.

Quotes on Now So Jake (IRE)
He’s a lovely horse and we had the dam as well who was very good to us. . I like this horse a lot and he’s still big and weak and backward. There is a fair bit to come from him we think. . When he sees a fence he’ll be a different horse again. He’s immature. . I’m delighted for John Palmer who owns him.

Quotes on Colleen Danu (IRE)
She was 8lb higher today than when winning this race last year but had the benefit of having had a run under her belt this time. Her Limerick run was on unsuitable ground but that stood to her. That's her third win for me and she is a sister to Absolute Notions, so the local syndicate will breed from her eventually. She could go for a summer chase now, as she is great to jump fences.

Quotes on Queenofthelodge (IRE)
I’d say she had too much of it at Killarney when she never rose a gallop but is back to herself now. She has been working well so we were expecting a good run and we’re delighted. Farrier Dan Breen, who bred her, heads the syndicate and the lads are all local. Dan bred some good horses including Maries Rock and this mare has a good pedigree too, so I’d say he’ll breed off her in time. There is a race for her at the November meeting in Cheltenham so should go for that, although she wouldn’t want the ground any softer that today.
