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

Formscan By Gary Carson - STRUTTER is interesting here on his return from an absence. The Racinger gelding was a cosy winner on his sole start for Willie Mullins, in a handicap hurdle at Limerick back in December 2024. He makes his chase debut now and there looks scope for more improvement from the lightly raced seven-year-old. Dameuscottlestown ran well in a competitive mares handicap at the Dulbin Racing Festival last month and is another to note on her chase debut, getting the allowance. Killaney King was runner-up on his sole start over fences last season and is another to consider. He just sneaks into this after his hurdles mark was eased recently.%0A%0A

Quotes on Find A Fortune (IRE)

we thought Find A Fortune would need the run to be honest and only stuck him in at 9.55am because the race was cutting up. Walking around the ring, he looked big enough for one of ours but it’s great for Aidan (Ryan, owner) who is a big supporter of the yard so it’s nice to get him a winner. He’ll go chasing at some stage, we’ll keep him going as he’ll handle better ground. Heroes Rise wants better ground - he ran well the last day at Thurles but we were worried about the ground for him today.

He’d a nice run the first day and he’s improved from it, . He probably doesn’t kill himself at home. He’s a big baby and has improved from a nice first run. He didn’t seem to mind the ground and we’ll dream on. We’ll have a chat and make a plan.

Quotes on Joyau De Thaix (FR)

It is nice to get one on the board early as we had a few disappointments in the last fortnight,. Jody (McGarvey, on favourite Jolie Coeur Allen) was plenty keen in-behind and our lad was green in front. I was worried but Sean (Flanagan, jockey) wasn't as he had gone a good gallop. He has improved a tonne from the first day and Sean thinks he is a good horse who wants that soft ground. He jumps like a buck and has a great attitude. Aidan Fitzgerald (pre-trainer) did a great job with him last year and takes his time with those horses. It is important to have a good winner for Lynne and Angus (Maclennan) as last year was their first year with us. We had a winner last year too and hopefully it is the beginning of a good partnership.

Quotes

Quotes on Must Go Now (IRE)

We’re happy with that, he’s eight-year-old so he’s entitled to it,. He’s a funny horse. I went to Ballinrobe with him in the summer and he got jarred up, we thought he wanted good ground but I wasn’t happy with him when he came home. We ran him at Punchestown over three miles and felt he just didn’t get the trip. We thought we’d go back to two-and-a-half here and it obviously worked. Kieren said he definitely doesn’t want heavy ground either. He was well entitled to win one, we felt, somewhere along the line. Hopefully we can get another one out of him somewhere. He said the first half he wasn’t travelling for him but he said when he gave him a smack across the top at Ballyhack and said ‘get into the race a bit’ he tanked with him then. I’m happy that he put his nose in front eventually for us.
