Formscan By Mark Nunan - A course winner over 7f last term, NEO SMART generally goes well at this venue and seems to be running into form. Fourth over course and distance on Derby weekend, she filled the same position when finishing strongly in a slowly-run contest at Gowran Park last time. Second at Limerick in June, Tofino won this last year and is only 3lb higher for her repeat bid. Runner-up in two nurseries last term, Ella’s Gold has been placed over longer trips on her last two outings. The pick of her form is on a soft surface, but she handled good ground when third over 1m2f at Roscommon. %0A%0A

An extended handicap for three years old and upwards (70 = 10st)
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Soulful Diva (IRE)

She had a lovely run in Naas and some of those two-year-olds of Con’s weren’t quite right during the year so we backed off them. It’s good to see her bounce back. It was a good performance as she would have needed today’s run. She quickened up well and just took a blow going to the line.

Quotes on Harry's Hill (GB)

He's an absolute superstar! He was bought for 12 grand and he has won 130/140 thousand. We thought it wasn't a bad race, but he's super fast out even though I think Rory (Cleary on Navalny) took him on there today. Plum draw in one and Wayne said to me 'I'm letting him roll'. In fairness, the handicapper has given us a chance as he has dropped him a couple of pounds. That obviously helped us - running well without getting there and this time we got there. There's a race in Navan coming up soon over five. He has never run well over six, but I would be half tempted to give him a run in the Bold Lad (at the Curragh). He's never got it before, but it is a big pot and he likes those!

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Happy Henry (IRE)

I was giving out about Leigh a furlong down, he was being held up, but sure it is the way he finished. He loves that stiff five (furlongs) here. He has run well every time he has ran here. We reared him and he has been on the farm a long time, and he has owed us that. We have been persistent. I had him in a claimer and I took him out because I said he will win one, and I didn't want to lose him. He's a big, strong boy and he is only learning his trade now. I just thought with the blinkers, the minute he didn't see a horse, he stopped. He rocketed home, so I am going to keep the cheekpieces!

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Ballysax Lil' Mick (IRE)

That was a while coming! He ran a really good race in Navan and then I gave young Max Popan his first ride on him in Naas on Monday, when he flew home. Max rode him ok, the horse came out of the race well and I did fancy him today. He was always knocking on the door without getting a win but we have persisted with him and Killian gets on well with him. Liam Tougher (owner) is here today so I'm delighted for him too.
