Formscan By Tom Weekes - EL FABIOLO was top-class in his day and while he was well held in the recent Irish Champion Hurdle, drops in grade and should take all the beating. Conqueror of Jonbon in the 2023 Arkle Chase at Cheltenham, poor jumping proved costly in his later chasing-career but, last December, he returned to score at Punchestown. He faded tamely at the recent Dublin Racing Festival but now drops to a lesser race. Eight-time winner Maxxum retains plenty ability but would prefer a stiffer test of stamina. Soir De Garde has nice ability but hasn’t raced since scoring on his jumping debut at Tramore in April and faces a tough task on reappearance.

Quotes on Maxxum (IRE)
He had a good run in Gowran the last day over three miles, probably didn’t get home,. We thought coming back to that trip today, if he got a soft enough lead, it would work well. Danny gave him a very clever ride and it was great. He did (battle well) – he picked up well, but he got a breather at the right time.After Maxxum (IRE) finished 1st at Navan on Sun, 9th Feb 2025 2m 5f Hurdle Soft to Heavy

Quotes on El Fabiolo (FR)
He did his job well because Dinoblue had worked very well during the week, and I thought if he made any mistake then she would definitely give him a race. Mark was very happy with her, so it was a good test and not a freebie by any means. She was getting 7lb from him and she is a good mare. He was very clean today and very good. Paul just sat very quiet on him, and he appreciated that and did his job. I’m delighted all the owners are here and they love coming to Ireland to race. They have raced in France and England extensively, but they say the experience here is way better. The appreciation Irish people have for racing is huge which you don’t get in other countries.After El Fabiolo (FR) finished 1st at Leopardstown on Sun, 4th Feb 2024 2m 1f Chase Soft

Quotes on No Looking Back (IRE)
he won his bumper here the same way, when he came down the hill he showed a good turn of foot, was interested in what he was doing and went on and won,. His jumping was pretty ok, I think he'll be sharper the next day but I'm delighted with him. He is a grand horse and is a half-brother to (stablemate) Unexpected Depth. We have no plan and came here today to see how he'd behave and perform. I'd say he'll run at Christmas but I'm not sure he likes heavy ground, yielding or soft ground probably suits him.After No Looking Back (IRE) finished 1st at Thurles on Thu, 1st Dec 2022 1m 7f Maiden Hurdle Yielding
