Formscan - VALGRAND was mightily impressive when beating the reopposing Gale Mahler by 17 lengths over an extended 2m here last month and it's hard to see how the latter can reverse that form being just 5lb better off at these weights. Dan Skelton's charge could potentially improve again for stretching out in distance and he is fancied to get the better of Potters Charm, who justified favouritism when winning over 2m4f on the same card here three weeks ago. The Twiston-Davies runner certainly wasn't as attractive on the eye, making a number of mistakes on the way round, and the selection could be away and gone if he doesn't jump with more fluency.

Quotes on Gale Mahler (IRE)
We had to step her up in grade to see what we had and while it is very hard to judge English and Irish form especially at this time of year but she was very impressive. She was well able to hold her own though and we can now go home and start making proper plans. She doesn't mind that ground, will handle slow ground so it's onwards and upwards. She is very straightforward and genuine and while she doesn't really need cheekpieces on, I'm afraid to take them off at this stage as she hasn't put a foot wrong. She is a very good mare and we'll target some of the big races in the autumn and next spring now. It's a while since I was last in Galway but this place has been good to me and she has to be my most impressive winner here. I am mostly a flat trainer but we love to have a few jumpers as it keeps us busy during the winter and this is one we will really look forward to. You always feel vulnerable coming back over taking on Willie (Mullins) and Gordon (Elliott) and the lads, so there was a lot of satisfaction in this. I'll go home, talk to Jimmy (Fyffe owner) and I think she deserves a little break now.After Gale Mahler (IRE) finished 1st at Galway on Tue, 30th Jul 2024 2m Hurdle Good to Yielding

Quotes on Rockstown Girl (IRE)
She hit the first hurdle in Thurles the last day and her race was over as she got a bad fright. We gave her a break after that. She’s a top class mare and was third in a Grade 2 bumper at Leopardstown. James said she took a blow turning in and had plenty left in the tank. I was disappointed with myself that I didn’t have her fitter than that. She should have a good campaign now for the summer.After Rockstown Girl (IRE) finished 1st at Tipperary on Wed, 15th May 2024 2m Maiden Hurdle Good to Yielding
