Formscan By John O'Riordan - A dual bumper winner, AL ARRIVEE(1) should prove hard to beat on her second start over hurdles. Making much of the running on her jumping debut at Galway in July, the Willie Mullins-trained mare weakened late on to finish third. Dropping back to the minimum trip should suit the lightly raced daughter of Tunis and a prominent racing style tends to be favourable around this tight track. A Grade 2 bumper runner-up at Aintree in April, Lennon Grove rates a serious threat on her hurdling debut. The Besty Woman, who showed promise in a couple of maiden hurdles earlier in her career before reverting to bumper company to score at Wexford last time, also merits respect.

Quotes on Al Arrivee (FR)
She did it well giving weight away all round. She has a lovely pedigree, closely related to Al Boum Photo. I'm hoping now to go over hurdles and possibly get some black type with her before we send her to stud next season.

Quotes on Calamint (IRE)
She came to me about three weeks ago. I was quietly confident as she’d been working very well and she was bucking and squealing in the stableyard, so I thought today could be the day.

Quotes on Lennon Grove (IRE)
She is a quick mare, they sprinted today, and she has loads of gears and stayed going really well. It was a nice performance,. Derek had her for point-to-points, so thanks to him, as he recommended that we got her for the track and I'm delighted for the owners (Silverpark Racing Partnership). We might go straight over hurdles now, she jumps really well and I'd say she will settle better over hurdles as well.

Quotes on Moja Dama (FR)
We went to Plan B very quickly!. We jumped off to go very slow and she just took me to the front, but she settled in front. She had a few breathers and I was able to keep taking back until the home bend, and she was very tough because she got headed and got back up. She ran a bit keen with me (in Kilbeggan) and we got racing too early. She does carry her head high - she is Motivator/Montjeu, she wears the hood. I think when things are right for her, she does try and she showed it there today. Just walking the track, I thought there was a bit of a soft spot kind of halfway up the home straight in the middle of the track, so I thought it was worth coming out to the outside rail to get to it - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Quotes on The Besty Woman (IRE)
I’m delighted for the syndicate as it’s their first horse with us and Conor Hayes recommended the mare to them. John (Gleeson) gave her a super ride and she’s a lovely mare, so there is plenty to look forward to with her. She was made favourite in the end but she had to go and do it and I thought she stuck at it well. I thought John was very positive on her. We’ll give her a break now but we’ll have her back earlier as she definitely prefers a bit of nice ground. She’ll go hurdling, she’s already had a couple of nice runs over hurdles.

She showed a bit of promise in a bumper in Cork, and it turned out to be a very good race. We gave her a bit of time and waited for a bit of nice ground. She’s after coming on leaps and bounds and I’m thrilled with it. I’m delighted for Padraig Clancy; he’s a good patron of mine and he hasn’t had it easy recently. I was down below and didn’t really see it. When she came past me, we had no hope. To hear she’d won it was actually twice as good.
