FormscanBy Alan Magee - Riding arrangements suggest TOUNSIVATOR is preferred of Willie Mullins’ two runners and the dual-purpose gelding can gain compensation after a very narrow defeat in a valuable handicap hurdle at the Galway Festival. The French import won a 25-runner Naas maiden hurdle earlier this year and was just headed on the line by Volantis at Ballybrit. Stablemate Ninth Titan easily made all in a Tramore maiden but may find this a bit sharp having stayed on well last time when runner-up to Donnie Devito in a 2m4f Galway novice. Al Gasparo impressed when making all in a Killarney maiden, but the point-to-point winner was soundly beaten last time at Galway.

Quotes on Tounsivator (FR)
Paul said he was a bit keen but being ex-Flat you would expect that. His jumping was good bar he stood on himself after the last. To recover and win after losing all momentum was impressive. Aubrey McMahon bought him. That’s the second horse he’s run for the syndicate and they’ve both won — My Great Mate was the other one. You’d be looking for improvement when he settles and gets a cleaner round of jumping. He could be a fair horse and he’ll obviously be dual-purpose. He was going well in the autumn and Willie threw him out and gave him a break. I’m sure he’ll go for novice hurdles at Fairyhouse and Punchestown.After Tounsivator (FR) finished 1st at Naas on Sun, 25th Feb 2024 1m 7f Maiden Hurdle Soft to Heavy

Quotes on Charming Star (IRE)
He keeps a lot to himself, a lot of time he just does what he needs to. I'd say there is plenty of engine there. We'll probably go back to the Flat with him. Hopefully we can tip away in the better handicaps over a mile-and-six or two miles. He stays well. He'll probably come back here for a Flat race in April, at the minute that's the plan. I got a few lads to buy him back because I thought we'd have plenty of fun with him during the summer. He ran very well here on yielding ground on his first run, over a mile-and-a-quarter, and he travelled well. I don't think he has to have heavy ground but on nicer ground you'd want to be going a trip.After Charming Star (IRE) finished 1st at Navan on Sat, 2nd Mar 2024 2m Maiden Hurdle Heavy
