FormscanBy Gary Carson - DINOBLUE was a good winner at the festival last season and this looks like another nice opportunity to score at the top level with the mare. She already has a Grade 1 in the bag this season, having won in fine style at Leopardstown over Christmas. She drops back in trip now having failed to reel in Limerick Lace in the Mares Chase at Cheltenham last time. Captain Guinness had his day in the sun when taking the Champion Chase last month, beating Gentleman de Mee. That race lost some of it's lustre after the exit of El Fabiolo but Captain Guinness is a wonderfully consistent performer and is sure to be a big player again here.

Quotes on Ash Tree Meadow (FR)
It wasn't really the plan to run him but when the race looked like it would cut up we decided we'd declare him and then make our mind up what to do. In fairness to Eamon and Robbie (Waters) they said 'whatever you want to do'. It worked out great. He's a good horse, Sam said he hated that ground and he'll be better on better ground. There is a race in Fairyhouse and a race in Aintree for him. He'll be entered in the Irish National and we'll see what Eamon wants to do, it's just whether he'd get that trip would be my only concern. We had four or five seconds last weekend but no winner. I'd be anxious myself, we haven't much between now and Cheltenham but it's happy days (today).

Quotes on Banbridge (IRE)
I'm delighted it's all worked out. It's unreal to ride a winner here and thank you to everyone that made this opportunity happen. Mark gave him a great ride. There was plenty of carnage in behind through the race and we managed to avoid some of the loose horses down the hill. He's very tough and I'm delighted for Ronnie who has supported me well and delighted to have a winner here.

Quotes on Captain Guinness (IRE)
Obviously after El Fabiolo went you knew then that the race had opened right up and we felt we had a right chance then. Can mistakes happen more at the speed they go in this race, I don’t know. He had his thing at Christmas (fibrillating heart) and I just kept thinking the horse deserved to get his Grade One so much, to get this one is amazing. Everyone at home has done a fantastic job and the vets. The tests he went through after Christmas, his heart specialist was happy and the IHRB (Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board) was happy and everyone was. In fairness to Sam who looks after him, he hadn’t known him in such form. We took a view from Leopardstown in February we just wouldn’t train him hard and keep him fresh and happy and that’s what we did. We just wanted him really bullish and he’s been trying to buck Sam off for the last two weeks, so I’m not sure he was as happy with the plan as I was, but it’s worked out for us all now.

Quotes on Dysart Dynamo (IRE)
He was pretty fast over the first couple of fences but then he just settled into a rhythm,. He threw in a huge jump at the first ditch down the back but then Paul seemed to pull him back and get him into a better rhythm, measured and he jumped his fences from there on home without any problems. He is what you see, he gallops and jumps. We'll just go up in grade now.

Quotes on Fil Dor (FR)
I was always very happy and down to the last he really pricked his ears. He can be a little bit lazy but he measured it up, popped over it and galloped away to the line. I pressed Saint Roi a bit after the fourth-last and tried to get him under pressure early. This lad stays very well so I was always happy that I had him covered. It's been a mixed day but any day you have two winners is a great day. Jack said it rode a proper race. He was foot perfect apart from one down the back that he landed on top of it.

Quotes on Gentleman de Mee (FR)
It was a surprise but you only have to look back to Aintree last year. He settled much better today, so I had a bit of petrol for the finish. He has a serious engine. He sat on Dunvegan's girth early on, didn't tear away as he can often do. On this performance he deserves a crack at the Champion Chase.

Quotes on Saint Sam (FR)
Granny would have enjoyed that and it’s a pity that she’s not here to be in the (winning) picture,. It was a great performance and great to have the owners Ed and Mary Ware here. The Red Mills Chase was one of the races we pinpointed at the start of the year. Small fields suit him – he likes to get on with things and wears the hood. He’s hot and we were a bit worried that he’d be a bit fresh on his first run and do too much on the heavy ground. Paul got a few breathers into him. Those Grade Twos or Grade Threes are where he’s most comfortable and he could go to Fairyhouse. He is a better chaser than he was a hurdler and loves jumping.

Quotes on Dinoblue (FR)
Gentleman De Mee set a great pace in front and jumped fantastic. I wondered at one stage would she (Dinoblue) be able to stay jumping with him, but she held her jumping together. When he took a blow, she kept galloping and she is improving all the time. I’m very happy with that.
