FormscanBy Gary Carson - PIER PRESSURE ran well for Amy Jo Hayes at Naas last time and looks capable of winning again off this kind of mark. The Kingman gelding went for home a furlong-and-a-half out then but was chased down in the closing stages by stablemate Mr King and Barbapapa. That looked a strong enough contest and he is only a pound higher now. Shigar has been knocking on the door and has to be respected having been left on the same mark as when third at Leopardstown last time. Grey Leader is another who was third at Leopardstown last time and also has to come into calculations.
An extended handicap for four years old and upwards (90 = 10st)Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.

Quotes on Freescape (GB)
He would have been favourite if he hadn't run the last day (finished eighth). He kind of clipped heels and whether he just got a bit unbalanced or whatever, I don't know. We decided to run a bit more positively tonight and the fractions looked good at halfway, so were delighted. We were in the right place. He's a very good horse and he's a very dangerous horse around here. He's a super horse to own, he's eight and he thinks he's three!. He'll have one more run here and he'll get an entry in the Winter Derby. It has been transferred this year to Southwell from Lingfield. Southwell will suit him better than Lingfield.After Freescape (GB) finished 1st at Dundalk on Fri, 22nd Dec 2023 1m 2f Flat Hcap Standard

Quotes on San Aer (IRE)
I was nervous for a moment but he said if he had to pull him up to go wide, it would have sickened the horse so he kept chancing the inside. He got a good ride, loves that ground and it couldn't be heavy enough for him. He won this race last year, is a great honest horse and keeps pulling out every day. He had a nice second last week and while he got stopped, wouldn't have won. He'll go to the Curragh on Sunday for either a E50,000 mile handicap or another race over seven furlongs. I'll chat with the owners and decide.After San Aer (IRE) finished 1st at Galway on Mon, 30th Oct 2023 1m Flat Hcap Heavy

Quotes on Perfect Poise (IRE)
We thought she would have won her maiden no problem and the first bit of light at the end of the tunnel was Navan where we got chinned. I thought that was a nice workmanlike performance. She’s hard on herself and you can see a bit of blood in her mouth. She carries her head low going down to the start and kicks herself in the jaw. Hopefully there is another day of two in her as that is the first winner we’ve had for Mrs Patino for about a year. I’m delighted as she’s a very loyal owner.After Perfect Poise (IRE) finished 1st at Punchestown on Wed, 13th Sep 2023 1m Flat Hcap Good to Yielding

Quotes on Pier Pressure (FR)
He definitely got confidence from his victory the last day. He is a very lightly-raced horse and is only growing into himself so, for obvious reasons, that was another race on his belt the last day that he has progressed from. The blinkers definitely helped. Colin gave him a super ride in the sense that he thought Billy (Lee on Free Solo) would bring him a bit further and then he switched over to Adam (Caffrey on Hightimeyouwon) and Adam's horse helped him. Mark (Breen) that owns him is in America and has been over to us a couple of times from America, he is a lovely man. He is not in the best of health at the minute and it will be a great tonic for him. He is a horse that will be sold, only at the right price. He is working his way up having fun and he is proving that he is a stalwart on this surface. He is there for anybody who wants a nice horse. He'll keep going until he is sold and will make a real good premier handicapper in the summer.After Pier Pressure (FR) finished 1st at Dundalk on Fri, 24th Nov 2023 7f Flat Standard

Quotes on Grey Leader (IRE)
he’s a very honest horse. He probably wasn’t in love with the ground but that’s the type of horse he is - workmanlike and does a good job. I don’t know what calibre of race it was but he’s a horse that we like a lot. I’d say that will be it for the year. He’s in the sales but whether he goes or not I’m not sure.After Grey Leader (IRE) finished 1st at Gowran Park on Mon, 16th Oct 2023 1m Flat Heavy

Quotes on Independent Expert (IRE)
If I have a Group 1 horse, this is it. I knew she'd improve from today but we can't get her off the bridle and she was only half-speeding. I'd say she will improve a lot and hopefully we are heading for Royal Ascot. I never had a horse like her to pull away from horses so easily and that's how she initially got her name - everything was easy for her. I'm going to keep her to five or six furlongs as she has so much pace and talent. Both Group 1 sprint races at Royal Ascot would be the plan along with the Flying Five Stakes at the Curragh. she is back from injury so hopefully we can keep her sound. I got her back last July but we had a bit of patching up to do with her. She had knee problems so had to go for an operation. She is in training a long time before today but had no hard gallops done with her. She will go on any ground and she is exciting.After Independent Expert (IRE) finished 1st at Cork on Sat, 30th Mar 2024 7f Flat Hcap Heavy
