FormscanBy Alan Magee - BALLYBURN was the star novice hurdler last season and makes his eagerly awaited chasing debut. The point-to-point winner, who gained both of his bumper victories at this venue, was very impressive in scoring three times at Grade 1 level last term including the Gallagher Novices’ Hurdle by a margin of 13 lengths at the Cheltenham Festival. Dee Capo was also a useful novice over hurdles winning twice, while An Epic Song was narrowly beaten in the Coral Cup at Cheltenham last March but has failed to sparkle in two chase starts this season. Miss Pronunciation progressed well over hurdles and completed a hat-trick at Fairyhouse in February.
A steeplechase for four years old and upwards that have not won a steeplechase
Weights - 4-y-o 11st 4lbs 5-y-o and up 11st 12lbs Mares allowed 7lbs

Quotes on Ataboycharlie (IRE)
It's the dream to get one here. I definitely didn't think he could do it in his first handicap,. JJ said in the first mile the horse didn't really know what to do because they were travelling that much faster. The ground is fairly lively there and totally different to the ground he was running on. It's always very hard to win here even with an experienced handicap horse let alone a horse with no handicap experience. We've given lots of schooling at home as fast as we could go with him but it's totally when you are in a race. I think the ground suits him, no question about it, as we ran him in Naas one day on soft to heavy and he just couldn't handle it. I don't know where we go now. He won't get in here at the festival unless the handicapper really goes to town. I'm delighted to get that anyway.

Quotes on Ballyburn (IRE)
Dermot pioneered going down to Australia and won the Belmont Stakes, an American Triple Crown race. He’s done superb things, so to be mentioned alongside him is fantastic. We were delighted with the way our fella finished. He's still not mature and he's racing too much throughout the race. Once he learns to settle a bit more and use his power at the end of the race I think he's going to a super horse. We can go either direction with him. Two miles, two-and-a-half and on his pedigree he can go out to three miles. I was just chatting to his point-to-point rider and he said he's a fabulous jumper of a fence so we have all that to put into the mix and see what direction we got in the future. A few of ours ran a bit flat earlier in the day and we were wondering would this fella do the same but he didn't. Good horses just dig deep and they do it.

Quotes on Dee Capo (FR)
He’s a nice horse and there is a lot of improvement in him from today. He’d had a couple of quick runs and we said we’d freshen him up and have him back for the spring. I’d imagine he’ll go to Fairyhouse or Aintree. He looks like a chaser. Danny gave him a good ride. Jack (Kennedy) is missing a few winners (due to a suspension) but that’s the way it goes. The horses are running well, which is important.

Quotes on Hillsdale (IRE)
It wasn't the plan to make it. The last day he looked home and hosed, he's a quirky fella,. He's very difficult, he's not for young lads to ride out or anything. Keith did a great job with him. He ran away the last day but I'd say the ground was a lot heavier in Fairyhouse. I'm delighted with the way he battled there, it's great. We'll try him again and he'll go chasing next year, he's a big horse. The owner (Brian Pierce) isn't here, he's a good supporter of ours.

Quotes on Release The Beast (IRE)
We bought him off Harley Dunne after seeing him do a piece of work so fair play to Harley and he has never disappointed us one day. We were just dreading if he might be flashy but Sean was very pleased with him. At the end of the day the second-favourite unseated at the first which turned it into a 0-97 rated race so it is impossible to assess. Sean said the same but said he couldn't have won easier. All I can say is we are excited by him, however much depth there was to that race.

She’s after getting the hang of things now jumping and the trip was a help as well. Her mother (Whatwillwecallher) was a good mare for us. She won three bumpers and was a good staying mare. She probably won’t run again this season. She’s a shell of a filly and it’s great to get that win.

Quotes on Miss Pronunciation (IRE)
That was great, she did it well. She's starting to settle a lot better than she was and I'd say that's bringing out the improvement in her. She loves that ground. We had the mother, she was a Topanoora mare and she loved that heavy ground. When it's like that we'll keep going and see what there is. The mother stayed but this one's not slow, I'd say two miles on that ground is her trip. She's improving the whole time.

Quotes on Only By Night (IRE)
She’s a nice mare and when she won a Listed bumper you would hope she could come on and do that. She jumped well and was very straightforward. The first day (in Limerick) she was a little bit keen with Derek (O’Connor) and the last day in Navan she improved from that. You can even see it in her work at home she used to be a bit keen, but she’s grown up now and is very straightforward. Hopefully she could be good enough to aim at the mares' novices' hurdle at Cheltenham. We might as well dream here as in bed!
