Formscan By John O'Riordan - A winner in a similar grade at Clonmel last month, FENWAY PARK can follow up. Although that race was over two-miles, the Andrew McNamara-trained gelding has form over this longer trip and, looks especially well treated at the weights. The son of Malinas is also proven on testing ground and, appears to have plenty going for him in this bid to make it two in a row. Rocky's Howya also comes into this race on the back of a win. Also successful in claiming company last time, the Declan Queally-trained 10-year-old is likely to attempt to make all. Noble Birth is best in on official ratings but will need to step up on recent form if he is to prevail.
A hurdle for five years old and upwards to be claimed for #15,000 or less (Minimum claiming price #4,000)Weights - 12st.

Quotes on Noble Birth (GB)
It was a good performance. He got a little bit of a freebie in front, I suppose, and he jumped great and stayed going well. I suppose we’re in the hands of the handicapper now and we’ll make a plan after that. I haven’t looked yet but maybe the novice handicap chase in Navan or something like that.After Noble Birth (GB) finished 1st at Fairyhouse on Sat, 11th Jan 2025 2m 5f Novice Chase Soft

Quotes on Solly Attwell (IRE)
Plenty going on there and it was an absolutely brilliant ride by Jordan, he never panicked and it just worked out brilliant for him. They went a good gallop and he's a good honest horse. He jumped well bar maybe a couple up the back, he put down a bit on them. He's a stayer and sure hopefully he will progress. He doesn't want winter ground - he doesn't want it too quick or too soft. He'll stay going for a while, and we will pick and choose where we go with him.After Solly Attwell (IRE) finished 1st at Downpatrick on Fri, 19th Sep 2025 2m 7f Hcap Chase Yielding

Quotes on Rocky's Howya (IRE)
He was the champion point-to-pointer one year, so it is amazing that this is the first race he has won on a racecourse. It's nice to actually win a race with him and David (Kiely, owner) has had him a long time. In the original entries he was set to carry more weight, but I dropped him to weight him fairly and if somebody claims him now, so be it. If he stays, we'll try and find something similar. He has paid for himself this year again, so I'm happy out.After Rocky's Howya (IRE) finished 1st at Limerick on Tue, 10th Feb 2026 2m 5f Hurdle Heavy

Quotes on Themanintheboots (IRE)
The owners are with me a long time and we had a meeting last Monday and we said this was going to be his last run. We entered him in an online sale in two weeks' time. He has been a bit hot and cold. We said we would try blinkers on him once before we sell him, and look what happened. Travelled lovely and jumped great. Absolutely delighted for them. He did (show a bit more in Ayr), but that was good today and I'm delighted he won a good pot. I think he will have to stay for another while!After Themanintheboots (IRE) finished 1st at Navan on Mon, 17th Nov 2025 2m 4f Hcap Hurdle Soft

Quotes on Difficult Decision (IRE)
I thought in Punchestown the last day he was lucky not to be brought down when I thought he was going well and it affected his momentum. He also had cheekpieces on and they seemed to light him up. I thought today's trip might be short for him as he stays three miles so we made plenty use of him. He doesn't want deep winter ground as he has small feet and is a handy horse but he is game. We'll look for much the same next, maybe back over 2m4f. I thought my lad in the first (third-placed Winding River) had the better chance coming here.After Difficult Decision (IRE) finished 1st at Thurles on Thu, 3rd Nov 2022 2m 2f Hcap Chase Yielding to Soft

Quotes on Fenway Park (IRE)
It was nice for him to do something, but it was a fairly weak contest. He hadn't been putting it in in chases recently so at least when others came to him today, he did enough to win and stuck his head down and battled. He has been a bit disappointing, but we got today out of him and he is cheap now (at €10,000) that he has won a race. The syndicate is a hab dash of people from all over and half were included in I'm A Game Changer, who won a graded race.After Fenway Park (IRE) finished 1st at Clonmel on Thu, 26th Feb 2026 2m Hurdle Heavy
