FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Having caught the eye on a couple of occasions of late, BLANC DE NOIR can record a second career success. A consistent gelding since joining trainer Johnny Murtagh, the four-year-old has been plying his trade in a slightly higher grade of late. With Ben Coen returning to the saddle, the son of Showcasing holds leading claims. Recent Tipperary scorer Linger For Longer has been an infrequent visitor to the winners' enclosure but as a mare in form, she commands respect. Local trainer Austin Leahy is sure to have her primed for this contest. Imperial Dream has run well enough on three starts since joining Pat Flynn to suggest that he will get his turn in the coming weeks.

Quotes on Miss Black Jack (GB)
To be fair, I think Wesley spoke to Nathan (Crosse) on the way up and Nathan gave exactly the same ride but we got done by Johnny Feane's good improver (Ohailbhic). We were expecting at least a top three finish. I didn't expect her to do it that easily now - the five off her back and she is improving away. Her siblings have improved at three and hopefully she follows the same route. I thought I'd win with her as a two-year-old. We didn't - we went to Newcastle and we got beaten. I was keen that we got the job done here. I might take her to Wolverhampton for a fillies' handicap next Saturday. She has won well there, so we will see what we get in the weights. There is no let up in rain and I probably wouldn't even run her on yielding, she skips along. The future is bright, she is a good horse.After Miss Black Jack (GB) finished 1st at Dundalk on Fri, 5th Apr 2024 6f Flat Hcap Standard

Quotes on Salah Belle (IRE)
She was just very gassy the last day over seven,. I'm delighted, she did that very nicely. She's a very straightforward filly but she just has no patience for hanging around here (in the winners enclosure). There is a race for her in Fairyhouse but I'll have to see what the handicapper does. The guys thought she'd get seven last time and that's why I ran her and maybe if she settled she would, but I think it's just easier to keep her at six at the moment. I'm thrilled for her and thrilled for Claire.After Salah Belle (IRE) finished 1st at Curragh on Wed, 5th Jun 2024 6f Flat Hcap Good

Quotes on Polar Bear (IRE)
We're very happy with him. He's been gelded over the winter and Shane felt that he really wants to do it now. He took a while to get his head in front last season but he's gotten an awful lot stronger over the winter. He was really brave there, he had a bit of experience around here as he was second to today's runner-up here last season. We'll step him up gradually and he's a nice horse for his connections to have fun with. Stepping up in trip will be no problem and I think he goes on any sort of ground.After Polar Bear (IRE) finished 1st at Bellewstown on Thu, 6th Apr 2023 5f Flat Heavy

Quotes on Gustavus Weston (IRE)
That was his Derby. He won here before and we always thought he liked the Curragh,. We thought he needed the race last week and that put him dead on for this one. He won well and I'm delighted the way Gary rode him, it was a good result. I'd have been happy with a place, we're not greedy! He got him switched off which helped, he's inclined to be a bit strong but he switched off today and that was the key to him.After Gustavus Weston (IRE) finished 1st at Curragh on Sat, 22nd May 2021 6f Flat Soft to Heavy

Quotes on Linger For Longer (IRE)
She was most unfortunate the last day in Limerick when she missed the break badly and sometimes you can give them a habit when they do that, so the one thing I wanted to do was to get her out today - whatever else happened. She is better without horses crowding her and I'm glad to get it. He (Browne McMonagle) walked the track beforehand and said she found a new gear two furlongs out (on the outer). He is a bright fella but had been riding badly lately! Those losing spells can happen though.After Linger For Longer (IRE) finished 1st at Tipperary on Wed, 29th May 2024 7f Flat Hcap Soft

Quotes on Velvet Skies (IRE)
I was actually a little disappointed the last day (in fifth at the Curragh), I thought we would have been closer. He's still learning on the job. He is going for the Sportsman's sales race on Thursday (at Naas), so hopefully he will improve again. I'd say he is versatile enough over six and seven. Wesley is a good jockey.After Velvet Skies (IRE) finished 1st at Down Royal on Fri, 8th Sep 2023 7f Flat Hcap Good
