Formscan By Mark Nunan - Gordon Elliott has a strong hand in this and TIMELESS TREATY is best in at the weights. One of his three hurdle wins was on good ground on this card a year ago, and the Harzand gelding comes here on the back of a creditable run in a competitive handicap at Fairyhouse. Stablemate He Can't Dance was rewarded for his consistency when easily winning a maiden over this trip at Limerick, and might be capable of further improvement. A winner over 2m4f in the autumn, Kevin's Pride reverts to hurdles after a disappointing chase debut and is tried in headgear for the first time.

Quotes on Kevin's Pride (IRE)

It is great to win primarily because of the owners involved and they have been very patient with the horse and with me, as we had been disappointed with how he had done over hurdles up until now. He is my first horse for them and I told them he was a nice horse, so they were very good to trust me. You can see he is not a natural hurdler and jumps a lot better over a chase fence, so that's where he'll be going next, I'd say. . I had been disappointed with him since his bumper win but there is still a nice horse in him and he has much better use of himself over a chase fence. Today's distance (2m4f) is his minimum and he will come into his own over three miles-plus.

Quotes on Timeless Treaty (IRE)

He’s a nice horse, he did it well,. He won well in Down Royal when we didn’t really fancy him, we didn’t know much about him. I thought he was gutsy today because he was headed and came back, he was tough. I suppose we’ll probably end up going for a novice at Galway now. I thought that was even a better performance today because he had to do all the donkey work in front, he was headed and then had to come back.

Quotes on He Can't Dance (IRE)

He's a big galloper. He's better than that, they just didn't go much of a gallop. He will be a nice horse. He's probably more of a jumper than anything, more of a two and a-half miler, but we will take our time with him this year. He mightn't have to do a whole lot this year.
