FormscanBy John O'Riordan - A maiden hurdle winner over course and distance earlier this month, SMILING BESS can make a winning handicap debut. Trainer Kevin Prendergast has his team in great form at present and the daughter of Mount Nelson had run well on more than one occasion prior to opening her account last time. Her opening mark of 100 looks something that can be exploited. Well backed when winning at this track last month, Mr Dibs failed to follow that up when mid division at Sligo after. A return to this venue may well see the locally trained five-year-old recapture his best form. Jumping Susie only got as far as the second flight last time at Sligo but had been a winner at Tramore on her previous start.
An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards rated 80-109Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.

Quotes on Mr Dibbs (IRE)
We were very happy with him coming here today and he looked fantastic during the week. It took him a few races to find his form this year. He was a bit disappointing this year, it could have been the ground, but he looked fitter and had a good coat on him today. He loves this ground and will keep going for the summer. He could go to Galway.After Mr Dibbs (IRE) finished 1st at Kilbeggan on Sun, 2nd Jun 2024 2m 4f Maiden Hurdle Good

It's nice to get that, he deserved it as he's had some good runs. Nathan was good on him, he tracked the right ones. He'll go jumping after that and should make a nice hurdle horse as he jumps well.After Arcland (IRE) finished 1st at Curragh on Mon, 2nd Nov 2020 1m 4f Flat Hcap Heavy

Quotes on Snapius (IRE)
He got a great ride as I told Rachael he wouldn't like the ground but I hoped he might be quicker than the others, and she obviously took that on board. She said he jumped great and that's her first winner for me. It was a weak enough race but coming down the road you couldn't be confident with a horse who wants good ground. Maybe it is so wet though that it is probably loose - they seemed to gallop away through it. We bought him in a claimer (for €20,000) and we were happy the whole way through but he never turned up at Haydock the last day. I had four or five juveniles and wanted to use him to get a line through the other ones but he ran terribly on the day. He will run through the summer and mix hurdling with the Flat.After Snapius (IRE) finished 1st at Cork on Thu, 23rd Mar 2023 2m Maiden Hurdle Heavy

Quotes on Future Proof (IRE)
He was a fun horse that we kept for one of the girls in the yard to ride in a charity race at Punchestown,. He's a great old school master, a lovely horse and very easy to do anything with. He's one that we're going to sell and it's brilliant that he's come and won for us today. If some young person out there wanted a school master he's for sale and he won't be expensive. I think he'll win again as well. If he's not sold he'll run away for the summer and then get sold. It's brilliant to get another winner for Eric (Newnham), who is London based. Phils Choice won for me at Limerick over Christmas and we have her to look after. This year want we're trying to do is to keep moving the lower grade handicappers. I'm limited to 60 stables and we're going to try and build a better team, slowly but surely. I think with the price of the point-to-pointers and the stores at the moment there is a huge opportunity to build things. We're going to try and move in that direction but to do that we have to free up boxes so we need to keep selling these guys.After Future Proof (IRE) finished 1st at Wexford on Wed, 29th May 2024 2m 1f Hcap Hurdle Soft
