FormscanBy Donal Murphy - FOUND A FIFTY is difficult to oppose. No worse than second in six starts last season, he won twice at the highest level. Successful over the course and distance at this two-day fixture 12-months ago, it'll come as a surprise if he fails to deliver. Galway Plate winner Pinkerton has race fitness on his side and appears the main danger. A winner of his last three over fences, he ran a fine race when third on the level at Navan recently. The Big Chap and Kerry National third Lucid Dreams both have a bit to find on ratings. The former has been a great servant to his Co Kilkenny owners, and it’ll be interesting to see how he fares on his first try in graded company.

Quotes on Lucid Dreams (IRE)
He’s a big, strong horse but has been too keen in graded races so we decided to go for a handicap and Andrew Shaw gave him the same mark as he has over hurdles. He was really gutsy to battle back. He can stay three miles but he has to learn to settle and we ran him back quick as racing will settle him. We’ll try and find something for him in the next three weeks or so. He shouldn’t go up too much for winning by half-a-length.

Quotes on The Big Chap (IRE)
It was a suitable race being for second-season novices and the ground was key,. We had aimed for a race at Killarney this summer but it turned up soft, although he still ran well. That is his trip as well. We'll go to the November meeting in Cheltenham with him for a 0-145 which I think he'll get into and I would also love to go to Aintree with him too.

Quotes on Pinkerton (IRE)
He is a horse that gets 2m very well and it was a burst of speed I had never felt off him before. He is not overly big but he jumps slick and likes plenty cover. He did everything right the whole way round. He came out of last week's race great. I was a disappointed he didn't win a bit easier there as it was a very ordinary contest, he struggled a bit and was maybe in front a bit long. Today when he went to the front he wandered a bit going to the last. It's great for the owners to win here, he's been a super little horse for them. He's the first horse Philip (Polly) bought off me and that's the first time he's won for them. He's tough and the jockey is very good, he's very strong. He mightn't go on real quick ground, he wants an ease, but we'll carry on for the moment and see how we go.
