Formscan By Mark Nunan - A Curragh maiden winner on Guineas weekend, COUNT BEZUKHOV (1) was unable to justify favouritism when third on quick ground in a valuable 1m4f novice event at Doncaster in July, but he was conceding 6lb to the useful winner who took his chance in the St Leger at the same track. Connections expect the son of Wootton Bassett to stay well. There wasn’t much between Bay Of Stars, Huff’n’puff and Mergus Serrator in the Ulster Derby over 1m5f in June. Vantage Code hacked up over this trip at Galway, but the handicapper had his say as a consequence, while the form of Sunrush’s Navan win has worked out well but he’ll need to find more in this higher grade. %0A%0A%0A

Quotes on Count Bezukhov (IRE)

He had a nice run on debut. He probably wanted to be going further rather than shorter, but we were happy that the Curragh would suit him and he boxed on well - all the way to the line. He’s a tough horse, a staying type, and he’ll probably end up in a stakes race now. There is a mile-and-five Listed race in Leopardstown, but that might come a bit soon - but it will be something like that for his next start.

Quotes

Quotes on Vantage Code (IRE)

He was impressive here tonight, and we made up for the mishap on Monday night, we settled a score,. . He just got a bit fractious when we were saddling him on Monday evening, so we tried the hood tonight. . I don't think he's ever worn it in his life. For the first half of the race, I was wondering was he gone too quiet! . That's just the chances we take, and thankfully it came off this time. He was very relaxed in the first half of the race and he was able to conserve energy. The race was over in the dip. The extra distance helped as well.

We were a bit worried about that (trip); we didn't know what to expect. The last 100 yards he pulled out a bit again, so we will be happy with that. He actually jumps very well.

Quotes on Lord Aus (IRE)

He was very small and narrow at the start of the year so he took a bit of organising. He was fresh and messing in the stalls the last day but is getting it together now. He is bred to stay and he stayed on well at Down Royal so I think 1m4f is a good trip for him. Ben said the ground felt a little tacky for him and that he would prefer better but it was pretty straightforward and he gave him a beautiful ride. He won like I thought he would as he improved from last week. I won't be in any rush with him and it is great to have a horse in training for Homely Equines, and it is their first winner with me.
