FormscanBy Donal Murphy - The in-foal HIDDEN LAND trounced the opposition over flights at Downpatrick recently and might follow-up now. The chestnut seven-year-old has already won twice on the level and could have a fruitful summer campaign before her impeding retirement. Despite the fact it again won’t be happening this year, Mayo For Sam is sure to prove popular with locals and appears to have solid claims after finishing fourth at Leopardstown on Thursday last. Charlie Luciano is another set to be turned out again quickly. Successful at Fairyhouse on his penultimate start, the Noel Meade-trained five-year-old beaten into fourth at Down Royal on Saturday. A winner at Tipperary last month, Status Green is likely to have plenty of supporters, while others of note are Limerick runner-up Curious Bride and six-time winner Desert Friend.
An extended handicap for four years old and upwards rated 47-70
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.

Quotes on Hidden Land (USA)
She's actually in foal to In Swoop and she loves it here - that is her third win here. She also has a win in Down Royal, so she likes the north. . Kevin gave her a great ride, he was a late sub. He was actually meant to ride her a few months ago and he got injured. He's a natural talent and I thought of him for her before. It is his first ride for us but he is very good. . I just told him to let her roll away, so it was the plan. He said that she was keen early, so he just let her on. Being in foal I'd say helped her, she looks great. We'll keep racing away as she is only just in foal. . She has got black-type over jumps and she's a tough mare. She is back well in herself. We will pick and choose and mix with the Flat. We might travel and I think we will leave Kevin on board.

Quotes on Status Green (IRE)
He is a lovely horse and is at his level. His breeder Nelius Hayes had him initially but since selling him, his half-sister won a Group race in America. He still has the mare so he's delighted, and we're delighted as we still have this horse.

Quotes on Charlie Luciano (IRE)
He's just special, isn't he, cause he's a slow horse and he probably wants a bit further than that. The race cut up with the divide. . In fairness the owners are very lucky fellas, they've been lucky colours. This fella won four for them last year and they had another mare who won three or four for them as well. . He jumps fences alright so we might try that again. He's up (in the ratings) a bit over hurdles but he can go over hurdles as well. . Jumping helps him a bit, it gives him a little more pace. . He's entered next week but it might be a bit quick, he'll hardly go up much for that run.

Quotes on Mayo For Sam (IRE)
That's his 5lb gone(Caffrey claim), he gave it a great ride as we were drawn wide,. I suppose Mayo had to win something at some stage!. They are a bunch of Mayo lads that have her and they are a great bunch of lads. They stuck with her as she was a little but frustrating starting off. We ran her on tacky ground and she didn't handle it. She's run well on her last two runs and ran a cracker here the last day. We were drawn a little wide and I just told Adam to jump out and get forward, try to ride a race on her and dictate it as best you can. She toughed it out well. She's in at Leopardstown on Thursday and more than likely she'll rock up again if she gets in.
