FormscanBy Gary Carson - PSALM didn't do a lot wrong when going down by a head to the in-form Squire Danagher here last week and may be able to strike again. The Sea The Stars gelding tried to nick it from the front then, kicking a couple of lengths turning in before getting nabbed in the closing stages. He is only a pound higher now. San Andreas is something of a standing dish around here and Hugh Horgan gets a good tune out of him. He has been dropped half a stone since his last run at the venue. Walhaan is another who likes it here, a dual course and distance winner, and also has to be considered.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards (95 = 10st)
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.

Quotes on Walhaan (IRE)
He loves it around it around here and hasn't run a bad race here. . His run in Dundalk was a grand run. Going there he was working very well and I was a shade disappointed, I thought he'd be nearer. It probably was a better race, the premier handicaps aren't easy won. . He came out of it well and we said we'd come back here to where he likes, and it's down in grade. . The young man that rode him gave him a lovely ride, he was very cool and is good value for his 10lb. We've been keeping a good eye on him. We're very happy with the result. He'll probably have a run over hurdles at Kilbeggan in a fortnight. The plan would be to go chasing at some stage.

Quotes on Casanova (GB)
I had been placed on him in the Listed race here in 2022 and, whatever it is, he does tend to run well at this time of year. I was a bit worried with 'good' being in the going description but riding on it, I definitely thought it was on the slower side. I was happy to follow Complete Fiction going three-deep on the fresher ground and while I had planned to challenge down the middle, the loose horse ran off the bend and pushed us wider than we'd have liked. I had enough in hand to get the job done though.

Quotes on Apercu (IRE)
We weren't sure about the ground but we felt we had to try her. She was very tough, Billy gave her a great ride and put her in a great position. . I thought three out I thought we might be in trouble but he said she was just barely doing enough and she clicked into gear. . To be fair she started to go away. We do think she stays further but this opportunity just presented itself today. We'll look at options from here. . She didn't seem to be doing an awful lot and I think that's what got her beaten at Down Royal, with a tricky track she was slower to get going. . Billy put her in a better position today to make sure she had no excuses. I think the cheekpieces helped her and I liked her attitude.

Quotes on Gesture (IRE)
He stays and further the better probably. He worked really well the other morning, so we were quite confident that he had improved enough to handle the 4lbs for winning the other day. He'll go to Leopardstown next in about three weeks, that's the plan for him - I don't like running horses on heavy ground. He's a progressive three-year-old over a trip and you don't know where they will stop.
