Going - Hurdle - Soft, heavy in places. Chase - Yielding, soft in places. Fine

Formscan By Gary Carson - FORCEONMYOWN looks on a workable mark for her handicap debut. The Workforce mare was staying on when finishing fourth in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown on her last start and going back up a bit in trip now should help. A mark of 110 doesn’t look harsh and Michael Kenneally’s claim is also a help. Whimsy ran really well in a competitive mares event at the Dublin Racing Festival last month and off just a pound higher mark she has to be respected. Missus Beeton was an easy winner at Down Royal last time. She got an 8lb hike, and this looks tougher, but she also has to be on the shortlist.%0A%0A

Quotes on Whimsy (GB)

She finally got there! I went down to the start to make sure that she started. We wanted to make the running, but it didn’t work out. Oakley said she found another leg once she turned in. She loves that ground, so I was glad to see all the rain coming.

Quotes on Forceonmyown (IRE)

Forceonmyown is a tough little mare and has a big heart. I wasn’t sure that she’d win a bumper and thought she’d be more one to go jumping. I only had her about three or four weeks before she ran in Limerick and Denis Ahern sent her up to me. He owns her along with a few friends. I’d imagine she will go jumping now.

Quotes

Quotes on Onefortheditch (IRE)

I’m always giving out that in the ‘100s’ every time she ran she was getting beat by lower ones, but she’s very consistent,. She should be left off for the winter, but she was in such good form you couldn’t. When she ran here the last day, she went on the soft ground so I said we’d come back at Christmas over two-miles-three (furlongs). Darragh O’Keeffe did a great job on her, but I wanted 7lb. I said to Calum that usually she’d be sitting and finding one or two too good, so to go on and go a gallop. I was looking at halfway and I said maybe I gave him the wrong instructions, but she’s tough. Her mother won here, Backinthere, and she was my first winner. I’ve very lucky owners, the Sheehans, and they’ve been great to me. I only have two to run on the track, this one and God Help Us, and both of them have won this year. Usually she gets her break, so I don’t know. Hopefully, there is a chase in her during the summer, but she deserved that.

Quotes

Quotes on Tequila Talkin' (IRE)

She ran well the last day after a long break after an injury. We thought on her work at home that she had improved a nice bit. We gave her a nice bit of a break again to maybe eradicate the bounce factor. We thought that was gone out of her anyway because she worked well a couple of times since. Obviously, when we saw Willie Mullins with an odds-on favourite (Mummy Derry) we thought there might be easier options, but the ground is lovely and safe and I'm glad she won.

Quotes

Quotes on Circus Act (IRE)

There's no particular reason - I suppose she might have been on the go too long the last time and we should have maybe pulled the plug a bit earlier. In saying that, she is a year older and she's not a big mare. She appreciates nice ground and that was a big help to her. Ben gave her a lovely ride, so it is great. She's a brilliant jumper and she stays very well. I was nearly happy to see the lads getting run away with down the back because I wondered were they going quick enough for her. That qualifies her now for the final in Punchestown or the 0-110 final in Killarney, so she will go somewhere nice next.
