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

Formscan By Gary Carson - KAROLINE BANBOU can make it third time lucky over fences. The No Risk At All mare has bumped into a couple of useful sorts, most recently Port Joulain at Fairyhouse. On her chase debut she had chased home Jacob’s Ladder and that rival was a Grade 3 winner on Saturday, when he had Port Joulain back in third. Kamikaz Du Plessis isn’t straightforward but is talented and could be a danger. He threw away a race when hanging badly left turning for home at Fairyhouse back in October and was again reported to have hung at Galway subsequently. Net Boy beat Kamikaz Du Plessis when winning his maiden hurdle and is another to note on his chase debut.

Quotes

Quotes on Kamikaz Du Plessis (FR)

He was leaning off the rail a little bit. He showed a bit of greenness with Jack (Kennedy) the last day in Wexford, so he's still a baby but he has got plenty of pace. He probably won snug enough at the line. Probably wasn't ideal making the running, but it just looked like there was going to be no pace. I told Finn if he was to make it to go steady and he did, so he got his fractions right. He jumped very slick; he's a good jumper. He obviously was point-to-pointing, so he has loads of experience. I actually don't think he is slow, he's not a slow horse. He could run over any trip really. The horses are flying, thank God. Obviously, the summer horses are probably running a little bit dry now and all the winter horses start coming in in the next couple of weeks, so it is exciting times.

Quotes on Net Boy (FR)

He made an awful mistake, and lost his backend. The second horse was creeping along behind him, he had good point-to-point form, and I thought our goose was cooked but to be fair to the horse he dug in and he ran on gamely,. He had a rating of 115, and solid winter form. I would have been very disappointed if he didn’t collect there today. I’d imagine we’ll probably look at a Galway handicap or a novice race.

Quotes on Karoline Banbou (FR)

that was grand. She jumped well and you could only be pleased with the way she did it. She handled the ground well. She got a bit tired from the last hurdle in Naas first-time, when something nabbed her but the experience didn’t go astray. It was a grand race to get for her and Mark was pleased with her. We’ll see where we end up and see what Willie thinks. She’s going the right way.
