Formscan By Tom Weekes - Connections of GOIN’ have opted for both a first-time tongue-tie and hood, and he should be capable of landing a handicap of this ordinary nature. Listed-placed on the Flat in Germany in October 2024, the selection has shown just glimpses of that level of ability since then, but ran a nice race at Kilbeggan in July before meeting some interference on the Flat at the subsequent Galway festival. Steps In The Sand finished behind the selection in that Galway race and while she is more exposed over hurdles, is already a dual-winner in this sphere. Hatfield Hammer has been running well in similar races.

An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards rated 0-100
Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.

Quotes on Hatfield Hammer (IRE)

He had been running well and had a bit of a break. It's great to get a winner and I thought he wanted further. Jordan gave him a lovely ride, he dropped him out and took his time early on.

Quotes on Katherine (IRE)

We were confident coming here today. I got there in plenty of time. She’s an unbelievable jumper and that’s a massive help to her. She’s been tricky to train and there have been little things that we’ve started to figure out with her. The way we are riding her is playing a massive part and she loves passing horses.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Steps In The Sand (IRE)

He gave her a lovely straightforward ride and sort of got the run of the race. I'm delighted with her. Shane Foley rode her the last day and came out beforehand and gave him a really good briefing. It was a real warm day the last day in Down Royal, and she sort of boiled over, and she didn't really run her race. No, not at all (not ungenuine) - just at that sort of level, sometimes if everything doesn't go right for a horse it is hard for them. We'll try and pick something similar again from a mile and six to two miles, and the same grade if we can. Hopefully, she will go in in another one and she has the option over hurdles. She should be able to pick up one of those as well.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Dunany Point (IRE)

There was loads to like about it considering we were hoping he would do something like that in Limerick the other day (seventh on Thursday). He never seemed to raise a gallop in Limerick the other day. Bit of both (better ground and tactics), I'd say. Kieren said he hit the one well-watered patch in Limerick and he just came back underneath him and stopped jumping. We were scratching our heads, brought him home and rode him out yesterday myself, and he was bucking and squealing. Threw him out in the field this morning and he galloped around the place. We are a mile down the road, so we had to come and take our chance. Kieren said what was I thinking and I said pop him out. If something goes (on), they go, but make up his mind. We know he jumps well, so let him see his hurdles and attack them. It worked out well. It is our back garden, so it is great. It is my first winner here as a trainer, I had plenty of luck here as a rider. No plans really. I had Limerick in mind for a while, waiting for it. Thought we had him fairly right to run well and he was very disappointing. This was an extra race put on and I put him in. We'll see what the handicapper does.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Mr MacPhisto (IRE)

It’s my son Eanna’s first winner in his colours and bred by my dad Sean so it’s great. He can get a bit on his toes. We put a hood on him before and he went to sleep too much but he was very good today. We were confident enough coming here as he was working well and he got a nice confident ride. It was great to get that win.
