Going - Hurdle/bumper track: Yielding, Good to Yielding in places, changed to Good to Yielding, Yielding in places after R1; Chase course: Good to Yielding. Overcast and breezy

Formscan By Michael Graham - ASWELLASABENTLEY travelled well before finishing third over a shorter trip at this track in January. He's bred to appreciate a more staying trip as a half-brother to Spinningayarn who finished fifth in the Albert Bartlett at the Cheltenham Festival last week. Jaynemax ran a cracker in second in a higher grade at Leopardstown this month, so his turn may not be far away. Sunwalk showed marked improvement to take the runner-up berth here over Christmas which gives him claims, while first-reserve Somersby Roost would merit a second glance, for an in-form stable, if getting a run.

Quotes on Rockstown Girl (IRE)

She hit the first hurdle in Thurles the last day and her race was over as she got a bad fright. We gave her a break after that. She’s a top class mare and was third in a Grade 2 bumper at Leopardstown. James said she took a blow turning in and had plenty left in the tank. I was disappointed with myself that I didn’t have her fitter than that. She should have a good campaign now for the summer.

Quotes on Cozone (GB)

he loved that ground, jumped really well and in that company was well in at the weights. He jumped himself to the front going down the back straight and while I got there sooner than I wanted, he stuck at it well. I thought we were going plenty fast enough but he kept pulling out. This is the only good race he has run since winning at Listowel last September and he has been really disappointing this year but hopefully is on the up now.

Quotes

Quotes on Blossom De Mai (FR)

that's a huge, huge winner as Felix Byrne was a huge part of the syndicate but passed away a few months ago. This is the first time the mare has got to run since he passed away. Felix absolutely loved racing and it was his first time to be involved in a horse. His wife Veronica is still involved in the syndicate and I'm so, so pleased for her. Felix would have loved this moment and I would have loved giving it to him, but it wasn't to be. I hope Veronica gets a great kick out of it. Blossom De Mai promised a bit last year but went off the boil. We weren't quite sure why, so we gave her a good long break and I promised the lads there was something there with her. I told them I thought she had a place chance at 66/1 and so this is fantastic.
