FormscanBy Donal Murphy - A case can be made for all six-runners in this quality contest. Bouncing back to his best when successful over the course and distance earlier this month, it'll come as no surprise if Jazzy Matty manages to follow-up. With two JP McManus representatives in the line-up, Mark Walsh has opted to partner Magic Tricks over Common Practice. The former has a rating of 133, while the latter impressed when successful on his debut over fences here last month. Monbeg Park is another with a course and distance win to his name, but he flopped badly at Galway and will need to bounce back if he is feature. For a selection, GORGEOUS TOM gets the nod. Well-fancied when disappointing in the Galway Hurdle, the Champs Elysees six-year-old has some valuable point-to-point experience to his name. Starting off over regulation fences now, a bold bid looks likely.

Quotes on Another Choice (IRE)
He jumped very well and I'm happy with him. I was very happy with his work recently. He ran in Gowran a while back and the ground was too wet and he just couldn't get through the ground. The one thing I was happy with that day was that he settled. He has a tendency to get very lit up and very keen and hang. He's quirky. I was happy that he settled away in Gowran and didn't hang. I thought on his best form he'd have a chance. He won a maiden hurdle up here and he won a bumper (in Cork), so he's not a bad horse. I'm delighted for James. He did seven months over with Jonjo (O'Neill) and he loved it. He said he would come back for the summer with the option of going back next winter if he wants. He's a good lad and he works hard, he has a good head on him. I'm delighted for Michael Hannon (owner), he has been very patient with the horse and a few disappointing days. The horse has ability and he showed it there today.After Another Choice (IRE) finished 1st at Downpatrick on Fri, 26th Apr 2024 2m 7f Chase Good

Quotes on Jazzy Matty (FR)
you could say he hasn't risen a gallop since he won in Cheltenham and he has been very disappointing. We bought him for €50,000 and knew the ability was there, so it was just a matter of getting it out of him. we just said we'd fill him with confidence today, ride him for luck and it was just about getting his confidence back. Thankfully it worked out.After Jazzy Matty (FR) finished 1st at Wexford on Wed, 7th Aug 2024 2m 3f Chase Good

Quotes on Magic Tricks (FR)
She’s tough and he (Kennedy) said it probably would have suited more if they had gone faster. He said he was kind of on his own in front and she was looking around her. She’s tough, she has won three now and she hasn’t done anything wrong. She will probably go to Newbury now for the Listed hurdle on December 2.After Magic Tricks (FR) finished 1st at Down Royal on Sat, 11th Nov 2023 2m Hcap Hurdle Soft

Quotes on Monbeg Park (IRE)
We had a fierce frustrating time with him last season. He had a really good run in Thurles but got a fright at Leopardstown and it took him a while to come back around. He is made for fences, he jumped very well today and JJ was always happy with him. I still think there is a big race in him, so we won't over race him. It's grand to get his head back in front and it's great to have a winner at the local track. We were just throwing everything at it today and I'd say the cheekpieces probably helped him to get his confidence back and he tuned in well. I think he won a bit snug so we are very happy with him and it wasn't a bad beginners for the time of year. He could go for a rated novice back here in a fortnight and if he qualifies for that we will let him run. The ground wouldn't want to be any quicker than it is today though. There is a novice handicap at Cheltenham in November and we will work back from that.After Monbeg Park (IRE) finished 1st at Wexford on Sat, 13th Jul 2024 2m 3f Chase Good

Quotes on Gorgeous Tom (IRE)
We’ve always liked him. He probably just struggled on that winter ground early on and we gave him a break after Christmas. He came back for the maiden hurdle and did it well.
