FormscanBy Donal Murphy - After yet another brave front-running performance at Roscommon on Monday, KILASHEE is taken to follow-up. The admirable John Ryan-trained nine-year-old has already won five times this season and while up to a career high mark over fences, she will be aided by the 5lb claim of Conor Stone-Walsh. Returning from a break, Midnight Our Fred is an obvious danger. Placed on his last four starts and third on his most recent outing in the Killarney National, the seven-year-old certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn. Handicap debutant Caesar Rock, Kilbeggan runner-up Banjaxed and Noel Meade's Charlie Luciano are others for the shortlist.
An extended handicap steeplechase for four years old and upwards rated 0-130
Penalties - Winner of a steeplechase after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each steeplechase won.

Quotes on The Echo Boy (IRE)
Michael said he had a blow at the second-last which he was entitled to as he's been off a long time. He was a good horse and we had to mind him and get him back. He loves that fast ground and Michael said he's a great horse to jump and measures his fences well. He was in good nick and I was hoping for a big run. He gets three miles so we'll see what's coming up for him. These veterans' races are a great idea for horses like him who've missed a year with injury, it's great to have them, and we'll see if we can find something similar for him in three or four weeks time.

Quotes on Palace Rock (IRE)
On another day he might have won the last day and to win is great. I didn't know if he'd go on the heavy ground but it wasn't as heavy and was tacky, although his mother wanted it bottomless. I thought the world of this horse and always thought he was my best horse but the other horse (Max Flamingo) seems to be better. He had been frustrating but works very well and has shown it now. He doesn't go right-handed and even today he needed a rail. He could come back here or otherwise go to Aintree.

Quotes on Jasmin De Cotte (FR)
On his first run over fences he was entitled to win. He jumped well and it helped having the rail after the last. He’s a young horse and is definitely better over a fence and the penny is dropping with him. He was too free over hurdles and I’d say the further he goes will be an advantage. . Hopefully we’ll keep him on the go for the summer.

Quotes on Charlie Luciano (IRE)
He's just special, isn't he, cause he's a slow horse and he probably wants a bit further than that. The race cut up with the divide. . In fairness the owners are very lucky fellas, they've been lucky colours. This fella won four for them last year and they had another mare who won three or four for them as well. . He jumps fences alright so we might try that again. He's up (in the ratings) a bit over hurdles but he can go over hurdles as well. . Jumping helps him a bit, it gives him a little more pace. . He's entered next week but it might be a bit quick, he'll hardly go up much for that run.

Quotes on Midnight Our Fred (IRE)
As Hugh just said to me, he is still a big, raw baby and you have to be organising him the whole time. Up and down through the undulations and the jumps, you'd just have to keep him organised. Hopefully there is still a bit of improvement in him. He is still only learning and I've given him plenty of time as he is only a big frame of a horse. Hopefully that'll stand to him in the long run. I thought going down the back that he might be in trouble but to be fair to him, every time Hugh asked him, he kept responding and that's a good sign. He is declared to run in Tramore on Friday in a beginners chase for horses rated 102 or less over hurdles. We will see how he is in the morning. He jumps hurdles like they are fences, he is a machine to jump. Whenever he does go over fences, he will be better again hopefully. I had dam and won a few point-to-points with her. Thankfully Florence and Emily sent me this fella then and they knew I'd look after him. They are great people and have stuck with me since I started training.

Quotes on Kilashee (IRE)
Kilcarry Bridge is her brother who won nine races and Willie Mullins had New Kid In Town another brother, it’s some family. They want to go out and race and they wear their heart on their sleeve. Shane Fitz is the only man to have won on her. He’s coming into me a few days a week and that’s his third winner for me this year. I’m delighted for him as he’s a great lad and it’s great to see him back riding winners. We’ll mix it between hurdles and fences with her and hopefully the handicapper won’t be too hard on her.
