FormscanBy Tom Weekes - KARGESE has been beaten by two high-class types when finishing second in both the Triumph Hurdle and when pulling too hard in an Aintree Grade 1 last month, and should take beating if settling. She raced three times in France so has vast experience for a juvenile, is ground-versatile and holds six of today's rivals on previous form including nearest-pursuers at Cheltenham Nurburgring (finished fourth) and Storm Heart (fifth). All of Bottler'secret's form is on easy ground and while he defeated Karl Des Tourelles by 3.75 lengths at Fairyhouse during Easter, is 3lb worse off with so Karl Des Tourelles could turn placings as he is less exposed and open to a fraction more progression.
A hurdle for four years old only

Quotes on Bottler'secret (IRE)
He's a lovely straightforward horse. He races lazily which you'd love in a horse coming off the Flat. He jumped really well there today. The cheekpieces just helped him travel a little bit better. He was behind the bridle a lot the last day. He went to the line really well and hopefully there is more to come. I wouldn't say he has to have it this soft, I'd say on the Flat it was important because he probably just lacked a gear.

Quotes on Karl Des Tourelles (FR)
we had no great expectations coming here with his lack of experience but he looks a nice horse. He never ran in a schooling hurdle so probably has a bright future. Most of the others had either run on the Flat or over hurdles and it came easy enough to him and won well in the end. We might look at Punchestown now and see how that goes.

Quotes on Nurburgring (IRE)
he was a little bit careful (jumping) but got the job done. He had a rating in the 90s on the flat and hopefully he can build on that win today. He coped with the ground which is a big thing for these horses ahead of the winter and we'll try and find a winners' of one now.

Quotes on Storm Heart (FR)
It was a very good introduction, I didn’t expect that. I was hoping he was alright, but he’s more than alright looking at that performance. Paul thought he was very brave too as he got blinded at one or two hurdles. He lost his confidence for one or two, but got it back. He took them on and he loves jumping. I would have said coming here there was huge improvement in him, and I hope there is. He’s probably good enough to go wherever we wanted.

Quotes on Kargese (FR)
She was too keen with Danny at Christmas,. The plan today was to make the running and it just shows you that we don’t even know what we’re doing at this stage!. Next thing, Mark (Walsh) jumped out and made the running, his horse was galloping and Danny settled the filly in. She was much more settled today after blowing away the cobwebs at Christmas. Mark was very happy with Majborough and thinks he’ll improve for that run. He gallops and jumps and he’s more of a chaser to look at. Paul felt that Storm Heart probably got stuck in the ground and was a bit keen with him as well. I was delighted with the way Bunting stayed on from behind, he was doing his best work at the end and is improving as well. They all ran well today and have booked their tickets for the Triumph. It’s going to be hard to beat Nicky Henderson’s horse, Sir Gino. We have our work cut out with him.
