Formscan By John O'Riordan - The Gerard O'Leary-trained JABBAR can maintain his rapid progress by making a winning return. A consistent handicapper on turf last season, the six-year-old improved each time he was asked to step up in trip. Having arguably run a career best when third over this distance at Naas in October, the Galileo Gold gelding looks the one to beat. A winner on the all-weather at Newcastle for previous connections, he should have no issues with this track. Falcon Eight, who finished one place behind Jabbar at Naas, has to be of interest. Although yet to tackle an artificial surface the veteran has been running well of late. Prairie Dancer is another with limited experience on the all-weather but he comes here on the back of a win over fences at Thurles.

Quotes on Falcon Eight (IRE)

He’s as tough as teak and is unlucky not to win the last two runnings of the Irish Cesarewitch, so he deserved a nice win here. He’s been a great dual-purpose servant and his full-sister Search For A Song won this race two years ago. It’s a possibility that he might go over hurdles at Leopardstown at Christmas or he might go to Dubai for the two-mile race. He has stacks of enthusiasm but he is a character.

Quotes on Effernock Fizz (IRE)

That's unbelievable, she has the heart of a lion. She's a mare that wants good to firm ground-wise. On the ground I didn't think it would happen today at all, I thought she might even pull up on heavy ground. She gave me my first two winners and that's my 20th today. I thought she was gone turning in but she just doesn't know when to quit. It's crazy. I was very lucky to get her. She just suits the way we train them, I keep her fresh. I actually ride her out every day myself, she's always in great form and is a pleasure to have. She tries her heart out everyday and just loves racing. I think we might go for the Scottish Champion Hurdle now. That's the plan and we'll probably go straight there as it's in a couple of weeks time. That's her 96th run today and her tenth win.

Quotes on Jabbar (IRE)

The horses are in form, we brought down three today, were expecting a winner and this was the lad I was expecting to win. The lads from the syndicate came down with me and backed him so I'm delighted. It's great that they are all here. I don't think he was fully tuned up as he is having a proper blow so there might be another day in him hopefully. Dean Curran, who is my head lad now and is doing a fabulous job, rode him to win here last year when they got up on the line to win. He has an engine, stays and Keithen is a right kid.
