FormscanBy Stuart Howden - SOMEONE'S WISH won a beginners chase at Downpatrick in September and was only narrowly denied at Cork last time. Now switched to handicaps, the four-year-old could be hard to beat off a workable mark. If You Let Me hit the crossbar on the level last week and should not be underestimated, while Calico and Hypotenus are others who merit places on the shortlist in an open event.
An extended handicap steeplechase for four years old and upwards (123 = 11st 12lbs)
Penalties - Winner of a steeplechase after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each steeplechase won.

Quotes on If You Let Me (GB)
It was a nice opportunity and he jumped really well and loved that ground. We fancied him a few days in bumpers and he just didn’t find anything off the bridle and you’d wonder if something came to him what there would be there. Hopefully that will give him a bit of confidence and he’ll be campaigned over the summer.

Quotes on General Clermont (FR)
He was too free the last day and settled today. I thought he'd do that a long time ago and ran a cracker in a maiden hurdle here in the past when he was a 112 or 113 rated horse. He is a tricky horse to win with but got a super ride today. My horses are healthy and we'll enjoy the wins while we have them.

Quotes on Someone's Wish (IRE)
It has been one of those days and it wasn't going right, but it is great to come out of here with a winner. We normally do, so it is nice to get a winner. . He was just beaten here in June and he likes the good ground. They do a great job with the ground here and he jumped well, so I can't complain.

Quotes on Ricky Langford (IRE)
he has been a good, fun horse and has won five races for us now. He is owned by the Kings Horses Syndicate - I was in school in Kings Hospital in Dublin and a bunch of friends from there own him. I gave him to them a few years ago and he has been great and has near enough paid his way. hopefully we'll get another day out of him but ultimately is for sale and is one that will be going to England this year. There is a ladies' race in Cartmel in a few weeks time and we might go over there with him - a few of the lads from the syndicate are living in England now. He would be a super horse for England on good ground — he'd nearly be a 'Saturday horse' in handicap chases over there.
