FormscanBy Mark Nunan - DADDY LONG LEGS was given a 15lb hike after readily winning a competitive Punchestown festival handicap on spring ground in April. That leaves the Almanzor gelding best in at the weights here and he can land this prize en route to a tilt at the Galway Hurdle. In-foal Minx Tiara had Shecouldbeanything back in third when landing a Listed contest at Killarney before beating Senecia in a handicap at Listowel. A prominent racer, she's in the form of her life at present and should give another good account. No Looking Back showed a bit more sparkle when second at Ballinrobe and is fitted with cheekpieces for the first time.%A0

Quotes on Daddy Long Legs (FR)
he showed a huge turn of foot. He was in front way too soon, and I'm sure Paul would have kicked himself but he said to me the horse just carried him and he didn't want to disappoint him. He's a horse that could go back on the Flat and is maybe one for Royal Ascot. He's still a maiden on the Flat, he's only had one run when finishing second in France. I'd say he's very ground dependent, in winter time in heavy ground he wasn't able to handle it but on this ground it seems to be a different ball game. He surprised me, especially after being in Ludlow last week. To come back from England and do that in a big handicap is good.

Quotes on Winter Fog (IRE)
That fella did it nicely and Kieran is a good young rider, cool kid, and he deserves a lot of the credit for it. He rides a lot of his work at home. We brought him back to two miles, he was running over longer trips last year but his homework suggested he would be capable of being competitive over two miles. I'm very pleased for his new owners (the Triple Lock Partnership) as well and we'll look forward to more handicaps with him.

Quotes on No Looking Back (IRE)
he won his bumper here the same way, when he came down the hill he showed a good turn of foot, was interested in what he was doing and went on and won,. His jumping was pretty ok, I think he'll be sharper the next day but I'm delighted with him. He is a grand horse and is a half-brother to (stablemate) Unexpected Depth. We have no plan and came here today to see how he'd behave and perform. I'd say he'll run at Christmas but I'm not sure he likes heavy ground, yielding or soft ground probably suits him.

Quotes on Senecia (IRE)
That was wonderful and we have him since he was a foal. As a three-year-old we failed to sell him and he became a covid carry over so today was a big day,. We reverted back to this distance, he has a good cruising speed and Philip gave him a great ride. He was near enough at the last (when Icare Desbois exited) and got there so that's the main thing. He might go to Galway now and good ground suits him. It has been bottomless during the winter and no matter where we went, there was rain coming. Vincent has five horses and we have a small operation. The competition is strong where ever you go and this is great. The last big pot I won was the Fortria Chase with Arctic Skipper.

Quotes on Shecouldbeanything (IRE)
Jack said she travelled well and got there too soon,. He gave her a kick and she quickened at the back of the second-last. She is not a bad mare and was unlucky at Galway when she made mistakes at the second-last and last and would have been bang there only for that. She will go to Gowran for a Listed race next and could also win on the Flat - she is a good filly.

Quotes on Suprise Package (GB)
In fairness Paul (Leech, owner) picked out this race a couple of months back when we started him back in training. The plan was to run at Leopardstown on the Flat and then come here but he took the run in Leopardstown and we gave him an extra run in Ballinrobe which left him really well for today. It’s a pity Sam got a fall earlier and hopefully he’s ok. Darragh won a big race at Punchestown on him and deserved a spin on him. It’s great to get him back. He’d a nasty enough injury but he seems to be coming back right now. It was a nice race today and hopefully he’ll go on from that to handicap hurdles or go back on the Flat for a maiden. We’ll have good fun with him and hopefully all his issues are well behind him. He probably won’t go over fences this season. He’s after having three quick runs but was very gross at home and I couldn’t get the weight off him. Paul is home for the week and we have Freedom To Dream out for him on Friday so hopefully he runs a big race for him.

Quotes on Minx Tiara (IRE)
She is maturing with age and being in foal (to Hurricane Lane) seems to have got her to finish out her races better. She was always a great mare but just wasn't able to finish out her races. The handicapper was fair to her after she won the last day and there is now a 0-140 E80,000 race for her in Galway. She is in such good form that she might run in that and that will be her last race. She has been a great servant for our small yard and has taken us to places we only dreamed of - she finished second in Leopardstown and has run against the big boys. To have a winner in Killarney and here is fantastic and she is owned by a great bunch of lads.
