Formscan By Mark Nunan - TRADONTHEBAY was second to a facile odds-on winner here a month ago, but his fifth at Ballinrobe last time is the run that makes him of interest on handicap debut. Having made a lot of the running, the Snow Sky gelding finished only 6l behind a fairly reliable 117-rated third, with a Grade 2 bumper winner between them. The handicapper elected not to take that form at face value, and Paul Gilligan’s runner can take advantage of his unchanged mark of 95. Wide-margin Downpatrick winner Joy Del Mar is now 10lb higher, while Lake Okeechobee showed notable improvement when fourth to Larkins Lane at Limerick and might fare best in the rematch. %0A

An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards rated 0-100

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Joya Del Mar (IRE)

She's a tricky customer. I thought she would win before now, to be honest. Plenty of ability and a nice mare. She was in season here the last day, so we will put it down to that. Coming down the weights and Ricky said she did things easily. Better ground and she jumped well, she enjoyed herself, and that is half the battle with these fillies. She was tricky to get away at the start and different things, but she has plenty of ability. I think so (starting to put it together), about time now. We are fond of Downpatrick; it has been lucky for me. I have good ground horses, so it is a big help.

Quotes on Thats All (IRE)

That’s 27 runs before she won so that’s all I can tell you! She’s coming on, though, and her jumping is getting better. She’s always honest and we got her wind done so that’s probably helping a little bit. He (Quirke) timed it well and gave her a great ride.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Max Time (IRE)

We had to give him a few schools as it was his first run back and I knew he'd run well. I hate telling people to back my horses as when they run badly, you get this rubbish about 'he's no good, that horse'. A lot of fellas seemed to be in a hurry today; where did the money go - 33/1!? Who was gambling him? - it wasn't me.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Steps In The Sand (IRE)

He gave her a lovely straightforward ride and sort of got the run of the race. I'm delighted with her. Shane Foley rode her the last day and came out beforehand and gave him a really good briefing. It was a real warm day the last day in Down Royal, and she sort of boiled over, and she didn't really run her race. No, not at all (not ungenuine) - just at that sort of level, sometimes if everything doesn't go right for a horse it is hard for them. We'll try and pick something similar again from a mile and six to two miles, and the same grade if we can. Hopefully, she will go in in another one and she has the option over hurdles. She should be able to pick up one of those as well.
