Going - Good, Good to Yielding in places. Overcast

Formscan By Tom Weekes - A YEAR OLDER was pulled up on his only previous chase outing but showed improved form to score at big odds on his seasonal reappearance run on New Year’s Day, and now has an attractive rating in this sphere. His form was poor prior to scoring at 40/1 at Fairyhouse and while he needs to replicate that ability, races from 9lb lower than over hurdles and he also clearly stays very well. Snow Punt has been running consistently well, is suited by conditions and is tried in first-time cheekpieces while Plain Or Battered has yet to win over fences but has good recent form.

Quotes on Tell Nobody Nothin (IRE)

I am absolutely thrilled because I thought he would need a run. . He wasn't really a bumper horse - he jumps well, so we decided to go straight away over hurdles with him. . He travelled great. He had a breako bviously over the summer and I'm thrilled with him. . We'll take it steady, we'll look for a rated novice with him or something like that.

Quotes on Warmer Days Ahead (FR)

He's a lazy gent. I thought with the heavy rain that came it wouldn't help him,. I thought he wanted better ground but he handled that well so I'm not so sure I was right. Phillip said he wouldn't handle heavy ground. The blinkers helped him as he was very sleepy in his races. Even when he hit the front today Phillip had to keep after him, he wouldn't do a whole pile. It's a good way to be. He holds condition, he does the same work as any other horse at home but at the same him he carries weight. He stands in the stable, eats everything and jog around the gallop at home. You'd say he wasn't put the effort in but hopefully that will all change after getting his head in front. I know the race cut up but I thought he had come on a good bit and he kept going. We'll go for another handicap and he can jump a fence as well.

I'm delighted with that. I don't really follow the point-to-points, but I was asking Karl Thornton who is a good young lad and he said that this lad could ride. He was right. It was a very cool ride. It's his first winner on the track but he has seven winners this season pointing. The horse jumped very well, he just made a mess of the last but stayed on well.

Quotes on Hit The Frame (GB)

He deserved that. He ran a cracker in Roscommon and ran a good race the last day where we probably didn't make enough use of him. I said to Sean today to just use his jumping and his jumping won it for him. I was very worried half an hour ago when the fences were taken out of the previous race, that wouldn't of suited us at all, but thankfully they came back in. Liam Quinlan gave him a great ride in Roscommon and that was his first sort of good run. He tried to make all that day too. He is just a very, very good jumper when he gets into that rhythm. I was watching the races and there was horses behind making lots of mistakes, he just puts them under pressure. I ran him today after last week because there is not another race for him for about another five weeks, a three-mile plus race. We just said we'd chance running him and see what happens and thankfully it worked out. The owners are local to me in Tramore and there is a couple of Portlaw men involved too.

Quotes on Plain Or Battered (IRE)

That's Conor's fifth winner. He started with me just over a year ago and started with no experience. For the chances he is getting his strike rate has been extremely good. He is good value for his claim and this horse is an ideal one for him to ride as he has plenty of experience,. I got him off the Dooly's and Noel is still involved with him. The Dooly's are fabulous people and they gave me the opportunity to buy three horses and I'm really pleased to have them. They are great friends and are lovely people, so I can't say enough thanks to Noel and Jenny Dooly, they are very good to me. He is a winter horse and we have winter ground today. I believe it's summer heavy today and so did Paul Townend and a lot of the senior jockeys, yet the board inside still says soft, yielding in places. The same clerk of the course (Paul Moloney) gave good to yielding in Kilbeggan last night, whereas all the senior jockeys said good, no yielding. There is a huge discrepancies. How are they seeing it as slower than the riders last night and quicker than the riders today. The discrepancy is too big and it doesn't make sense. I'm delighted because my horse is a winter horse and he got heavy ground today. Liz Doyle told me this morning it would be proper soft and she was right. He'll probably get a break now and come back in the winter to go over fences.

Quotes on A Year Older (IRE)

He’s a grand horse. These stores would want to come with a health warning, they just take forever,. We bought him at Tattersalls. Just by the stallion, he has no page whatsoever. He’s a good-looking horse, very correct. I got him cheap enough, five grand, but nobody had looked at the passport and when we got him home we discovered he was a four-year-old, not a three-year-old. That’s why we called him A Year Older. He jumps and he’s slow. He’ll do a job somewhere, he has the same mark over fences. The nicer ground probably helped him and there might be another day in him.

Quotes on Ardaghs Choice (IRE)

in fairness his is quirky and he'd have won in Kilbeggan only for what happened. I thought he'd win today but with all the rain, I got watery!. he likes to go a trip and is in great form. The horses were out of form but they are coming back now and he'll go for a same race again, or a hurdle. He is very much ground dependent and wouldn't want it any worse than yielding. Hopefully we can kick a few more over the bar.
