Formscan By Mark Nunan - WALKS THE TALK stays this far and will enjoy getting back on a sound surface. John McConnell’s mare won her first two starts over hurdles on decent ground in the autumn and chased home a progressive Paul Nicholls-trained gelding on her penultimate outing at Musselburgh. The youngest in the line-up, Agameoftwohalves won a maiden over 2m3f at Punchestown and it will be a surprise if this trip proves beyond him. Drying ground is a concern for Rocky’s Howya who comes into this on a roll, while Long Branch is a dour stayer but may be on a high enough mark now. %0A%0A%0A

Quotes on Rocky's Howya (IRE)
That’s his kind of thing now. He’s ten-years-old and he’s had plenty of issues. He’s staying in one piece at the moment. He’s had tendon issues. Dave (Kiely) is getting a good return out of him. He’d been a long-time maiden. Between point-to-pointing and aiming for Foxhunters, he’d never really had a clear run. He’s a grand horse and he’s grand for that job. He’s a novice and a veteran! He can run in a novice chase as well, so he has a couple of options. I’d say the visor is after waking him up and Kevin is good value for his 7lb.After Rocky's Howya (IRE) finished 1st at Naas on Wed, 4th Mar 2026 2m 6f Hurdle Soft to Heavy

Quotes on Jisco Du Brem (FR)
He had a good run in Ballinrobe (runner-up)and ran into a good horse on the night, and he improved from that. I think he’ll improve more and hopefully we’ll have a bit of fun with him. He said he was there a bit sooner than he wanted to be, but it worked out well. The main aim will be to go hurdling and I’d say he’s better on soft ground. That’s proper good ground and has dried out during the evening. He had a few problems along the way as you do with horses and it’s good for Tom (Hegarty, owner) who has been patient with him.After Jisco Du Brem (FR) finished 1st at Kilbeggan on Mon, 16th Jun 2025 2m Bumper Good to Yielding
