Formscan By John O'Riordan - Narrowly denied at Galway earlier this month, JUSTATAN(10) can go one better. A dual point-to-point winner, the Emmet Mullins-trained gelding ran his best race to date under Rules last time on his chasing debut. Stepping up in trip here should see the seven-year-old register a first victory on the track. Barry Stone looks a significant booking and the hint should be taken. A consistent sort in recent runs, Illtakehimmyself shouldn't be far away. Trainer Eric McNamara loves to have winners at this festival and the Jet Away gelding holds strong claims. Lightly raced over fences, Toor Khov is also worthy of serious consideration with leading amateur John Gleeson in the saddle.

Quotes on Born Bright (IRE)
It means the world to win with a homebred filly, and we’ve had this family for four or five generations. She was very unlucky at Limerick where she had a hard fall, and I think in Roscommon she was jumping big and slow and needed confidence. We freshened her up and thought she was in good form coming here today in her first handicap. She won her point-to-point and three miles is no problem to her. She missed a few down the back when they really started racing, but she’s tough and keeps galloping. She wants good ground, and we might bring her over to Perth if we have to.

Quotes on Toor Khov (IRE)
It has been a long time between wins but he tries hard and is ground dependent, so we were worried today. He is better on better ground as he breathes easier on it, and at least it was loose today as he cannot go on tacky ground,. The lads who work with him, Tommy Condon and Johnny Kirwan, couldn't see him being beaten as he was in great form and I thought, if he could get through the ground, that he would take a lot of beating. He is a bit daft, he spent all morning trying to kick the hind shoes off himself in the stable and we weren't able to clip him either, or anything like that. He is just very highly strung. His breeder Jim Nash, from Scarriff, is a wonderful owner and is very patient. He never questions what I want to do, as long as I keep giving him the information.

Quotes on Ira Hayes (IRE)
We needed a change of luck as we've had a horrific April. This is probably his minimum trip and we had to force him a bit, which probably didn't suit him. He is really a galloping horse, but it was just the conditions of the race suited. We got our bit of luck and I'm delighted for the lads (Ira Hayes Partnership) seven-year-old, they've been very patient with him. He hit the line quite well, he wasn't tired or anything. Danny said that up in trip you'll see a better horse. Hopefully, there is fun to be had with him.

Quotes on Harbour Highway (IRE)
He had a nice run here at this meeting last year, in a maiden hurdle, and I’d say he’s just improved for a bit of nicer ground,. It was nice to see him get his head in front. He’s been a frustrating horse since his bumper win. Hopefully we can go forward. I think he’s a horse that appreciates a bit of nicer ground. Hopefully we’ve got him on the right track now. It was a lovely ride by Alan, he rode him with plenty of confidence. It was lovely to see and keeps everyone happy and confident going into next week.

Quotes on Illtakehimmyself (IRE)
He deserved that. He’s been placed in his last three runs and gone up 7lb,. It was important to try and win with him before he crept up another few pounds. He’s not blessed with speed but he’s a real tough, genuine, honest, horse. He’ll go chasing sooner rather than later, he jumps a fence very well. He loves a bit of good ground, so he’ll run away for the summer now.

Quotes on Whateys Quest (IRE)
(extra) distance made the difference as he was on his head the whole way at Naas the last day and couldn’t lie up. I had this race in mind for a while and it worked out. The ground is more testing and more dead today, and is similar to the ground he won on in Clonmel (in April). Everything was in his favour today and it is job done now. This is his level and he’ll mix it between hurdles and fences.

Quotes on Hees Dynamite (IRE)
We felt he was in really, really great shape today and he was fit as a flea. Patrick gave him a really confident ride and it was a good performance. My son Conor had been very impressed with Patrick all along, he has always been a fan and has been plugging for me to give him rides. He rides really well and is great value for his 5lb claim. We'll try and follow up in something similar in a few weeks time and he can mix and match between hurdles and fences.

Quotes on Le Grand Vert (FR)
He had been running well,. He was fourth last time when the wee girl in the yard (Erin Dunseath) rode him and he ran a fair race for her. He probably just needs a staying track and the rain today, and the softer ground, suited him. He’s not fast and he’s probably not that genuine. but on slow ground when somebody takes him on, he can plug away. I told Carl to ride him as he finds him. He jumped well, I thought he made a couple of slight mistakes watching on TV but he said he jumped brilliantly. I told him to sit quiet, keep filling him up, and see how he goes. We bought him out of a claimer and he’s won three for us so we can’t complain. If every horse did that, you’d be okay.

Quotes on Casey West (IRE)
I took a chance coming here so soon after Limerick and he is also way better going left-handed. I have him for two point-to-point and two hunter chases and he had finished second three times. Aintree is left-handed and I think now we are qualified to run in the Foxhunters Chase there. He'll go back point-to-pointing now but going left-handed, over a short hunters chase trip and the fences over there, will suit. This lad has a bit of class, has to be ridden positively and while he'll go on better ground, wouldn't want it too quick.

Quotes on King Ferdinand (IRE)
He is an improving horse and it is a great syndicate, from my local pub the Gortroe Inn. They formed after a few of my horses won and Vinny Grimes and Tony O'Shea are the main men in it. There are 26 members and their families and this is unreal - they are having savage luck with him.
