Formscan By John O'Riordan - Successful over course and distance last month, CELTIC DRUID can make it back-to-back wins. Tom McCourt's five-year-old gelding was well on top at the finish and, has to again hold strong claims off just 5lb higher. Sadhbh Tormey, who was in saddle for that latest win, retains the ride and, claims a valuable 7lb. Sarmiento Power landed a gamble at this track in September but has failed to add to that win in five subsequent starts. With plenty in his favour on this occasion, the Matthew Smith-trained gelding looks one of the more likely winners. Jawhary is another former course and distance winner with every chance.

Quotes on Mephisto (IRE)

The only thing I can think of is going up in trip. He ran over two-and-a-half at Sligo one day where he made a bad mistake and should have won. He works like a good horse at home and we always knew he kept a bit for himself on the Flat. His jumping was letting him down earlier on his career as well. He got a few terrible falls and I'd say he lost his confidence as well. We ran him in a few claimers and put him in for E8,000 and we just said if he goes, he goes. I kept telling the lads to get rid of him. He hadn't won since March of 2023 and I just told them to get something else. I knew he had ability and I said to bring him somewhere else either, to see would that work. Thank God neither of those options came to pass!. He is a lovely horse at home and any kid could ride him. He is just a pure rogue. He is handicapped over fences and can go back to Dundalk for those two-mile races as well. He won very easy today so maybe he will go to the next grade over hurdles. There is loads of options for him.

Quotes on Doctor Grace (IRE)

He gave her a peach of a ride - he was very, very good on her. She is usually slow away a little bit and I just told him to take his time. Apprentice race and I knew they would go quick enough. The favourite was on his outside, so we sort of tracked it. He was just so cool on her, he never budged going down the hill. Delighted for the guys, Colm McCourt is head of the Dundalk Racing Club and it is an ex-Mick (Halford) horse. She has been knocking on the door and the handicapper was choking her a little bit. I thought she might struggle, but we had given her a break. She had the month of May out on grass and I think it made a huge difference to her. I think we will have plenty of fun with her before the year is out. She has schooled over hurdles, so she might even appear over one before the year is out. I'd love to get one of those, it is a long time since I had a hurdle winner. We'll see what happens. Sam is after doing very well for me the last couple of weeks. He's a very good kid and does what he is told, he is very cool and has a level head on him. He's good and strong in a finish and I thought he was excellent on her tonight.

Quotes on Jawhary (GB)

Keep the faith! I'm delighted for Stephen (Reddy, owner) because they have had this horse with me for a while. From nearly pulling the plug with him, he would throw a good run in. The last day was good, and he was unlucky not to win. Adam was brilliant, he is riding brilliantly and has had three winners. He's a fabulous rider. They have to improve 3lb when they lose the claim and he definitely has. He is a big, strong fella, works very hard with his weight. He's very strong in a finish and he's a very clever lad to ride on all types of horses. He should get probably more recognition than what he does get. I suppose it is a shut shop in a lot of yards in Ireland. He is heavily associated with me and I'm very lucky to have him. When he was an apprentice, it was nearly like robbing 5lb and 3lb at times. He's top class. Hopefully, he can stay progressing, just a matter of getting new horses and good horses and outside rides. I think he will.

Quotes on Sarmiento Power (IRE)

We got him out of the sales and he just didn't show a whole lot. Maybe it was just the change coming from England. . We let him off for the summer, he had a good break and went out on grass all summer. Then he came back, filled out, and strengthened up and did well. First-time blinkers. He worked up here with the blinkers on him the other day and worked well. . I think the summer break did him great. He had three months off there and he came back a different horse.

Quotes on Celtic Druid (IRE)

I thought we weren't going to get one the way things were going - we had three seconds between yesterday and today. We are just getting it right with the trip. I trained the half-sister, Lady Scathach, and she was seven (furlongs) to a mile. This one always showed us enough pace at home to do that. That's kind of what I had in my head until he ran in Limerick and was just very one paced. Up to a mile and one in Leopardstown, he improved. Robert thought he would see out a mile and a-half no problem. He's a grand horse. I was annoyed with the handicapper, he dropped him out of the system two runs back and he's lightly raced, he's only had six or seven runs and he dropped him out - dropped him 4lb or 5lb. I won't have to worry about that for now. Maxwell Smart (runner-up) was flying home again, maybe just didn't travel as well early on, but he finished out really well.

Quotes on Desert Friend (IRE)

for whatever reason Desert Friend has become keen in his races. He's not bad at home and we are just trying to keep him settled. We changed his bit for his last run but he was keen again tonight. In fairness to Chris (Hayes), he held on to him although he is now giving more of a blow than the horse. I was wondering why he didn't ‘go’ at the two-furlong pole but he said afterwards that he needed a break!. Chris’ experience counted though, as he knew he would reap rewards at the end of the race. He said he pulled for 1m6f of the (two miles) race, so it was a great ride. Small fields and maybe a turning track (on turf), would suit so hopefully he will win another one.
