FormscanBy Tom Weekes - CLIFFTOP is very closely matched with Watch The Weather on Wexford form last month but did win subsequently at Tramore and has obvious claims. The selection is a Flat winner who frustratingly failed to score over hurdles but his recent chase form is stronger and is suited by today's conditions. Watch The Weather is similarly suited by conditions and while he narrowly failed in a recent Downpatrick beginners chase, should again compete today. General Clermont was well enough held when reverting to hurdles at Killarney recently but two of his three wins have come over fences and should run well, despite being 9lb higher than when winning at Wexford in early August.
An extended handicap steeplechase for four years old and upwards (130 = 11st 12lbs)Penalties - Winner of a steeplechase after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each steeplechase won.Riders - Confined to Professional & Claiming Professional Riders who have not ridden more than 15 winners under any N.H.

Quotes on Good As Hell (IRE)
That’s her fourth win around here and back over a shorter trip. She was able to dictate things and Niall rode her well. She nearly gave it away at the last but she got back on track. Two miles on a flat track suits her and she also likes going left handed. She’ll keep going for the moment and I’m sure she’ll make a broodmare at some point.After Good As Hell (IRE) finished 1st at Tipperary on Tue, 2nd Jul 2024 2m 1f Hcap Chase Good to Yielding

Quotes on Charlie Luciano (IRE)
He's just special, isn't he, cause he's a slow horse and he probably wants a bit further than that. The race cut up with the divide. . In fairness the owners are very lucky fellas, they've been lucky colours. This fella won four for them last year and they had another mare who won three or four for them as well. . He jumps fences alright so we might try that again. He's up (in the ratings) a bit over hurdles but he can go over hurdles as well. . Jumping helps him a bit, it gives him a little more pace. . He's entered next week but it might be a bit quick, he'll hardly go up much for that run.After Charlie Luciano (IRE) finished 1st at Fairyhouse on Fri, 7th Jun 2024 1m 4f Flat Hcap Good

Quotes on Watch The Weather (GB)
he had been doing everything really well at home last year but since he ran last, we got his palate fired. At home recently he wouldn't blow you away with how he was going and I said to Rachael that he'd either win or run brutal. The last day Rachael rode him she said he stopped under her and while he scoped perfectly, obviously the operation was what he wanted. He is back the way he should be - he is a very good horse when he is right, he is a really good horse. He will get a fair penalty for that and the plan is now to go to Galway. What he will eventually make is a right chaser as he is brilliant to jump.After Watch The Weather (GB) finished 1st at Tipperary on Thu, 6th Jul 2023 2m 4f Hcap Hurdle Good to Yielding

Quotes on Clifftop (GB)
I have to say Kieren was very good on him because he didn't travel. He didn't jump the way he normally jumps, it probably came a bit quick after Wexford. I have to hand it to Kieren, he won the race. He was the last one to get into it and it worked out. The horse deserved it, he has been knocking on the door and he'll get a little break now.After Clifftop (GB) finished 1st at Tramore on Thu, 15th Aug 2024 2m 5f Chase Good to Yielding

Quotes on General Clermont (FR)
He was too free the last day and settled today. I thought he'd do that a long time ago and ran a cracker in a maiden hurdle here in the past when he was a 112 or 113 rated horse. He is a tricky horse to win with but got a super ride today. My horses are healthy and we'll enjoy the wins while we have them.After General Clermont (FR) finished 1st at Killarney on Sat, 26th Aug 2023 2m 4f Hcap Hurdle Yielding to Soft

Quotes on Sargent Lightfoot (IRE)
He loves it here and that's his second win this year,. He jumped well except for one fence. We were hoping he'd finish in the first three or four but thought it would be a big step for him to win first time over fences as there were a couple of nice horses in it that had form. Denis was brilliant and he's won twice now for him. I'd say he might look at a hurdle race again for him.After Sargent Lightfoot (IRE) finished 1st at Kilbeggan on Fri, 2nd Sep 2022 2m 3f Chase Good

Quotes on Kilashee (IRE)
Kilcarry Bridge is her brother who won nine races and Willie Mullins had New Kid In Town another brother, it’s some family. They want to go out and race and they wear their heart on their sleeve. Shane Fitz is the only man to have won on her. He’s coming into me a few days a week and that’s his third winner for me this year. I’m delighted for him as he’s a great lad and it’s great to see him back riding winners. We’ll mix it between hurdles and fences with her and hopefully the handicapper won’t be too hard on her.After Kilashee (IRE) finished 1st at Kilbeggan on Fri, 12th Jul 2024 2m 3f Hcap Hurdle Good to Yielding
