Formscan By Gary Carson - FANCY GIRL may be able to bounce back after a heavy fall on her chase debut at Thurles. The Champs Elysees mare had jumped well until getting things all wrong at the seventh fence. She was returning from a lengthy absence then, after showing some smart form over timber, and is up to landing a race of this standard now. Kilbarry Saint has the top mark of 125 and has to be respected. She ran a solid race when third in Grade 3 company over timber last time and has regularly shown up well in good races. Gaoth Chuil hasn’t looked like a natural over fences but is a talented sort and also has to be on the shortlist.

Quotes on Ad Caelum (IRE)

I was sick that she didn't get into a Listed hurdle at Galway, as she was second reserve and the first reserve got it. She is high class and progressive. I didn't break her until she was a five-year-old so she is seriously progressive and has a great pedigree.'

Quotes on Gaoth Chuil (IRE)

It's great to win, Leopardstown is a special place and I've had a lot of luck here over the years with some very good horses,. She's a good tough little mare, she's owned and bred by Michael Ryan. He had the dam and Harzand is a good stallion. She ran up against Barry's horse (Espanito Bello) at Naas. She's only five and whether she runs at Cheltenham (20/1 for the Pertemps Final with Powers) is a question mark, we have the option now if we want to go.

Quotes

Quotes on Kilbarry Saint (FR)

She had a good point-to-point run, but became disappointing in the interim when she became free and it took us a while to get the hang of her. She is an honest mare and, even though she is by Saint des Saints, she had a Flat pedigree and her dam is by Martillo. Black-type will be the ultimate aim, she is going the right way now and you'd never know she might be in the right place at the right time some day.

Quotes on Neon Diamond (IRE)

She had a couple of good runs but has been disappointing to be honest. It worked out today and it is great for Liam Clancy, her owner, who owns the Abbey Hotel and sponsors Donegal football. They have a big week ahead next week and it is a pity he couldn't be here today although his sisters are here, which is great.

Quotes on Party Dress (IRE)

That is deadly as Jessica works very hard and is a great work-rider at home, so I'm delighted for her. She went lovely fractions in front, the mare seemed to love it and having the first-time tongue-tie seemed to help her. She is a grand mare, and I'd love to win a chase with her.
