Formscan By Mark Nunan - After a good run over a mile here on seasonal debut, THYER again ran with credit when a front-running third over 1m4f at Galway. Perhaps this intermediate distance will prove ideal for the six-year-old whose trainer Maurice Ahern does well with a limited amount of runners. After a promising effort over course and distance, Youcansaythatagain got off the mark at Down Royal and the well-bred son of Ghaiyyath is one to consider on handicap debut. Liberation Date had the inside stall when a creditable third over 1m1f here in June, but is posted wide this time. Blackjack Hills has to enter calculations on his narrow defeat over this trip at Leopardstown last month. %0A

Quotes on Sonoran (IRE)
We took our time with him as he was immature as a two-year-old, but has really filled into himself. He is having a look around even now (in the winner's enclosure), so is going to improve an awful lot. It wasn't a great-ish contest, but that's not his fault and Colin said he will get further and can only improve. We'll go home and make a plan. We had a couple of horses by Arizona including William F Browne, who won a couple of races for us.

Quotes on Youcansaythatagain (IRE)
He's a nice horse. He was a very late foal and we had to just take our time with him, but he has a very nice pedigree. We always thought there was something in the tank, so we never really pushed too hard. This year he has come to himself and we think there is more to come. He's a horse that seems to be improving all the time, great attitude at home and is thriving really well. Very green (on debut) and even there when Billy pulled him out, he was a bit green and ran about a bit, but straightened himself and come home. Actually looked to have won it nicely enough in the end.

Quotes on Unterberg (IRE)
He’s back into the 60s there but he’ll be gone out of it again after today. Wayne knew him after the last day and I’m delighted with that. I wouldn’t be used to coming into the winners’ enclosure up here. He won twice in Dundalk and he’s been knocking on the door on the grass as well but just not getting there. I got him out of Ger Lyons’ and they were very good, they told me everything about him. He’s done what they said he would do. He’ll be in the 70s now again but we can’t complain, we’ll take the win today.

Quotes on Liberation Date (GB)
Great to get the first one. The horses have been running really well and we have had plenty of horses placed. This lady had good form coming here today and we were expecting a big run from her. She probably does (need every yard of that), but she will come on plenty now from that experience. She's a big lady and she's learning every day. She's going to improve again. We always thought plenty of her. She's coming now and she is learning off every run. Possibly she will be put away now and we'll wait for the turf to come back or we could come back up again here say in February or March. When she gets a break, she will strengthen up plenty for the break. When she steps up in trip, she will improve. Hopefully, she can bring us to some good places if she is not sold. As with all our horses, they are all for sale. Loved my time riding, and I suppose this was the next step and enjoying every minute of it. It is a completely different avenue to riding them. I have big support from Donnchadh (Doyle), so I have to thank him an awful lot. He has provided me with a yard, and he has filled it as well, so very lucky. I helped out with a few breezers last year and I got a good bug from that then. When Donnchadh and I spoke, that was the next step. There were plenty to train. I have a couple of two-year-olds that haven't run. They will run next year as three-year-olds. I have a couple that might run up here next week. Donnchadh has been very busy buying yearlings at the sales, so we are goin

Quotes on Blackjack Hills (IRE)
He’s been expected to run well a few days and didn’t, so we put blinkers on him the other day and he seemed to work well in them. I think he’ll get a bit further. I wasn’t sure about going back to a mile, but it worked out anyway. We weren’t sure about the ground, but he seemed to handle it fine.

It probably suited him, the stiffer mile here. I know he's won in Killarney but he's been so lucky with the draws down there. I think if he got a bad draw there in Killarney he'd find it hard. He doesn't like being boxed in. He's in great old heart.
