Formscan By Tom Weekes - A chance is taken that DUKE OF LEGGAGH will recapture form as he is ideally suited by soft ground and, notably, won this race last year. A six-time winner, the selection’s form this summer has been poor but ran on past beaten horses when competing over an inadequate mile at Punchestown recently, and now competes from 8lb below last year’s winning mark. Ten-time winner Arch Enemy has recent form and is a previous CD winner, so should compete. Stablemate Coulsty’s Way has been raised 10lb for his recent Galway success, although the runner-up scored subsequently and also holds obvious claims. Miss Australie finished a never-nearer fourth at Listowel while Justenzia has been running well.

An extended handicap for four years old and upwards (70 = 10st)
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
Riders - Apprentices who hold an Apprentice Licence under Rules of Racing issued by any recognised Turf Authority and who have not ridden more than 20 winners before 15th March, 2026. Allowances - (up to and including 26th September and which are not cumulative) Apprentices who have not ridden a *winner allowed..........7lb; Apprentices who have not ridden 3 *winners allowed..........4lb; Apprentices who have not ridden 10 *winners allowed..........2lb. *Including races under any N.H. Rules.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Arch Enemy (IRE)

Unbelievable. It’s some team effort and I don’t think in the past few days I’ve been giving them enough credit,. I’ve been down here, I was down with two horses last night, I’m not even at home. Emily Fleming and all the girls in the yard, it’s a massive team effort. It’s been a bit of a whirlwind!. She was bouncing around the ring. Tacking her up we were saying ‘this is on’. You know when she’s quiet you are in trouble. It was a super ride; it’s been kind of mad stuff. It’s brilliant. Sam is a very talented kind so there were no instructions. I did just say to him to be careful as she can switch off. He said to me just there that he thought he was in trouble but she can do that and then she keeps going again.

Quotes on Coulstys Way (IRE)

She has been unlucky all year; she didn't get much of a run in Listowel and I trained her for the festival here in July but she got brought down, when I think she'd have finished second. It is great to get that and Charles Cranston and his mates have been very patient. She loves soft ground, so she'll be kept busy now and will rock on to Listowel.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Justenzia (IRE)

Ross Doyle recommended her to Colm Sharkey, so I have to thank both. Ross said she'd make a lovely dual-purpose type and this is great. The handicapper reassessed everything recently and gave her a chance by dropping her 2lb and letting her into this low-grade event. It was a nice starting point and I hope she'll make a hurdler in time. Joey gave her a lovely ride and kept it simple. She is in a 1m1f handicap at Punchestown on Tuesday, so we'll see and Listowel is also a possibility.

Quotes on Celtic Druid (IRE)

The breed improve with age. I had Lady Scathach who didn't do anything until she was a four and five-year-old and she won five for us. They just seem to need time. It wasn't the plan to be that far back - we just got swallowed up from the outside, but she gave him a very cool ride after that. He did it very well, quickened up fierce well. He had been working out of his skin, and I would have been disappointed if he wasn't thereabouts. He improved since his last run. If there is something that suits here (in April or May), we'll use it, but he has form on grass as well. He's improving away. The winter has been great for Sadhbh, she has got great experience up here. She is apprenticed to me and with me the whole time. I put her up on as much as I could and it is standing to her - she is getting the whole feel of it.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Preparations (IRE)

She was very unlucky to be carried out. Sam was very good on her. He was very cool on her after it happened. He just let her get her own rhythm and get back into the race. He didn't panic going up the hill, he just waited until they got to the top and tried to creep back into it. It was brilliant watching the finish. We didn't mind which one won! She will go back over hurdles as well. We'll try find a similar contest to this one for the other mare.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Spanish John (IRE)

He was at his ease all through the race and enjoyed it, plenty of room you see, and the ground was a big help to him. He got it (ground) in Clonmel, but two miles probably too far on that ground, but a mile and a-half on soft (suits). Third in Roscommon, but he had been running well. Nearly all the times he has been trying and staying on. It was just to get it together, get the win.

Quotes on Dancing Steve (IRE)

I thought Andy (Oliver) had it stolen (with Connecteo), I was standing watching it with him,. We were drawn wide and I did tell Sam to drop this one in, he just about gets the trip, but he needs to be put asleep very early on. He did exactly what he was told. I told him he better bring me to the party if he wins it (apprentice title)!. In all fairness to him, he is a very good kid, and it was a very good ride. I had the option of going to Navan tomorrow, and then I saw this race was splitting and I thought we would chance here. In all fairness, it was a good decision. It was going to end up being less competitive here than a 23/24 runner race around Navan. That's the way you have got to work these horses - you've got to try and give them the best chance to get a win.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Duke Of Leggagh (IRE)

You'd nearly think it was easy!. He's a great honest horse and he loved the ground. Terry gave him a great ride and he had him in the right place all the way. The instructions he got were when he got to the top bend, take it up. Away he went. He's very adaptable and a good honest horse. He wants to win, that's the main thing. He probably will (get more hurdle opportunities). Hopefully, the handicapper doesn't go mad now. When he gets those conditions in those types of races, he's an honest horse. Terry deserves it, a hard worker.
