FormscanBy Alan Magee - HEART OF DARKNESS won a maiden over this trip at Dundalk in April and the lightly raced filly has more scope for improvement than her rivals. She didn’t enjoy much luck in running on her only subsequent start here the following month in the Listed Polonia Stakes and it will be interesting to see how strong she is in the market on handicap debut after a summer break. Imperial Dream appreciated a sound surface when taking a 21-runner Curragh handicap over this trip last month with Never Shout Never (now 7lb better off) two lengths back in fourth, while course and distance winner Grand City Hall blew his chance at the start in Ascot last time.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards (85 = 10st)Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.

Quotes on Grand City Hall (IRE)
It was his first run back, he was fairly straight and had three runs last year so knows his job,. For a lad who has had a few runs he was a little green when he went to the front. . He is forward-going, six or seven (furlongs) is his trip and is a very easy going horse. Hopefully he can improve as the season goes along. We were glad the ground dried out as he needs top of the ground and his dam (Clonville) was the same. . He is bred by my wife Suzanne and is by a local stallion to us The Irish Rover in Sweep Lane Stud, who has a good strike-rate. He is a son of No Nay Never so was the cheap way of getting that bloodline.After Grand City Hall (IRE) finished 1st at Cork on Fri, 10th May 2024 6f Flat Maiden Good

Quotes on Heart Of Darkness (GB)
She's improved in the two weeks (since her debut) and I think the surface has probably helped her. I'm delighted she's won, they are important colours. She ran well first time but I'd say she just didn't love the soft ground, she's enjoyed that surface today. She's a nice filly and I think we'll look at stakes races for the rest of the year. Something like the Polonia, if the ground was quick we might go back to Cork.After Heart Of Darkness (GB) finished 1st at Dundalk on Sat, 13th Apr 2024 6f Flat Maiden Standard

Quotes on Gabriella's Spirit (IRE)
Chris Hayes rode her in a four-way tight finish at the Curragh the last day and we decided to go for cheekpieces today. Billy said she enjoyed getting a bit of light and, as it worked out, was on the right side of the draw as she got a nice lead from Dun Na Sead who was quickly away. This is a lovely prize to win and these Premier Handicaps are hard won. It is nice for Con who bred her and it is a family he knows well. She has such a nice pedigree that there is nothing to be lost by looking for black-type and she could run in the Listed Abergwaun Stakes at Tipperary now.After Gabriella's Spirit (IRE) finished 1st at Cork on Fri, 28th Jul 2023 5f Flat Hcap Good

Quotes on Collective Power (IRE)
It's good to win with him again. Sorcha was very good on him. I thought he'd gone a little bit moody and wasn't finishing out his races. She lights then up a bit, so we gave her a go on him. She's in with us a few mornings a week so it's great that she rode the winner. It was a very messy race, one minute 15 and change for good class sprinters.After Collective Power (IRE) finished 1st at Dundalk on Fri, 23rd Feb 2024 6f Flat Hcap Standard

Quotes on Linger For Longer (IRE)
She’s improving. He was able to get a lead from the two in front which probably made the difference as in the past we were letting her off a bit. Six or seven is her trip and maybe a bit easier ground.
