FormscanBy Gary Carson - BURREN SONG has run well in competitive contests on his last couple of outings and looks to have a big chance under title chaser Wayne Hassett. He was eased a pound after finishing fourth to Squire Danagher here three weeks ago and this looks a slightly lesser contest now. Church Mountain obviously commands respect coming here in search of a hat-trick. He got up late on over the extended ten here a fortnight ago but went up 7lb for that victory and doesn't have a claimer on board this time. Slieve Binnian has gained three of his four wins around here and is another that has to come into the mix.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards (90 = 10st)
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.

Quotes on Polemon (GB)
I'm delighted with him, it was a great run from him. I'm delighted to get one so early. I'm 17 and from Poulmucka near Cahir and I went to RACE. I have to thank Denis (Hogan) for giving me the ride and for giving me the opportunities to get started.

Quotes on Church Mountain (IRE)
you'd call 18 a bad draw but not with him as he doesn't like traffic around him. If he is drawn low and misses the break, it is hard to get him going. He had won twice in Galway and hopefully will go back there. Dan (King) is super value off those weight but I don't like him doing light as he is a big lad now and is going jumping. He has finished school and with me full time for the summer and has already had hurdle rides. He is a great lad and a super worker.

Quotes on Encosta (IRE)
I think it was a very fair decision and I would have been very disappointed if they didn't change it around,. I would have bet 1/20 that he would have got it and Colin (Keane) thought that after the race as well. You just can't knock the horse down and hope to get away with it. It was the right decision. She was coming back at him as well, she was almost on the ground and it's lucky no-one was hurt.

Quotes on It'sonlyjustbegun (IRE)
In Roscommon she just missed the kick, she got upset in the stalls and missed the kick. Around there, she couldn't get into it. I'd love him (Kennedy) to win it (apprentice title) this year. Every time she hung a bit, he straightened her up. He's very good and he is a lovely lad. Shane (Foley) hits him over the head practically every morning!. I'll see where we go, but she will step up in class a bit now. I think she will get a mile and a-half. She's a very big filly and I just think 'give her a bit of time'.
