FormscanBy Alan Magee - PASSIONATE relished soft ground when scoring by six lengths at Killarney back in May and should have conditions to suit given the forecast rain. She again shaped well when third at Punchestown last month and is preferred to Simply Sideways who won this race 12 months ago and again showed her liking for soft ground when gaining a sixth career win at Gowran earlier this year. The lightly raced Fleetfoot is held in high regard by connections and should benefit from his reappearance at the Curragh last month, while Complete Fiction and Camelot Alexander are others to consider.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards rated 70-100
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.

Quotes on Fleetfoot (IRE)
His form was good last year. He usually only got mugged by a very good horse and he's a better three-year-old than he was a two-year-old,. Hopefully he'll be back here in September! . He handled it well and I'd say he'll go on any ground. I'd say he'll go all the way trip wise.

Quotes on Kortez Bay (IRE)
I'm delighted, I've always loved him,. I was surprised I was able to buy him because he's a half-brother to Lady Kaya (runner-up in the 1,000 Guineas for Lavery). I met (breeder) John O'Connor and I laughed and said to him there's not a chance I'm going to able to buy a New Bay out of Kayak. . He said he wouldn't be anyone's cup of tea but when I saw him all I could see was athlete. He was a raw horse. . I feel that's a bit of a monkey off my back getting him to win but he's actually needed all the time. He's just strengthened and strengthened mentally. . Robbie said he loved that ground. I don't know how much he'll go up, or if he'd get in, but I'm going to put him in the Jersey. If he gets in brilliant, if not it's no biggy and we'll find something else. . It might have been stupid running him at two but he learned. . I think the way he's hitting the line, now that he's strengthened up, he'll get a mile but at the moment we'll keep him at seven as he's relaxing through his races beautifully.

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 Complete Fiction (IRE)
He had a nice run in Leopardstown (eighth) the other night and he bounced out of it well. He was too consistent last year and went up too much, and he just needed to come back down in grade. Neve gave him a great ride and her 7lb claim was a big help. He can win at that level and is just not able for the next level.

Quotes on Passionate (IRE)
She had her problems when she was in (Fozzy) Stack's, but Andrew (Slattery, jockey) liked her and recently she had been working well - although I didn't want to win six lengths!. She should have won in Gowran last Wednesday as she was tailed off coming down the hill, but ran on (in second) and I couldn't believe how she was beaten. She is also in at Leopardstown on Friday, but we'll have to see how she is.
