FormscanBy Michael Graham - CORBETTS CROSS is a talented stayer who showed that he belonged at the highest level last season. It is hard to forget how he routed the field by 17 lengths in the Grade 2 National Hunt Chase at the Cheltenham Festival. He then signed off with a fair third in a Grade 1 at Aintree. Heart Wood is another horse coming off a big campaign and he is certainly weighted to make a race of it with Corbetts Cross. Favori De Champdou has a bit to find but was last seen winning a Grade 3 at Limerick in April, while Buddy One is race fit after a decisive victory on chasing debut at Galway.

Quotes on Corbetts Cross (IRE)
It was a great honour from the Jockey Club to name the race after granny and it’s extra special that we were able to win it. We were always very hopeful, I suppose he had the form in the book to be second in the Arkle today and he was able to show the same turn of foot over this longer trip. Derek got him into a great rhythm and he showed his true colours today, I think. The trip was probably a little worry with ground being so heavy, even though he has plenty form on heavy ground. I think having Derek on board was the main reason we decided to run in this race, to have his expertise is a big advantage. That race is a special test, so we’ll take it one day at a time and see how he is after it.After Corbetts Cross (IRE) finished 1st at Cheltenham on Tue, 12th Mar 2024 3m 5f Chase Heavy

Quotes on Favori De Champdou (FR)
Very good, jumped great and galloped all the way to the line so I am very happy with him. He's a very strong stayer and the further he goes, the better he gets. He could nearly have gone around there again. He’d a good run the last day and we thought he’d come on from it, but we thought it would be tough. Jack said he stayed very well and jumped brilliant. I’d imagine he’ll go for something at Christmas. I liked the way he stayed galloping. He travelled the whole way and he could be a real National Hunt Chase horse for Cheltenham.After Favori De Champdou (FR) finished 1st at Punchestown on Sat, 25th Nov 2023 3m Novice Chase Soft

Quotes on Buddy One (IRE)
He jumped great, he was clever and shortened when he had to,. I was delighted with him the whole way and Jack was grand on him, he didn't panic at any stage and let him pop. He winged a couple of fences. I'd say he gave a heave going to the second last but then class just pulled him through. He winged the last. I think he's only about 70 or 75 percent fit so he's going to come on a lot from that. It was a lovely opportunity to start him off over fences. Where we go from here, I don't know yet but obviously our main aim is to try and get back to Cheltenham. We won't over-race him but we'll get some good races into him. He'll definitely face stiffer opposition through the winter but that was nice, a lovely experience for him and especially here at home next door to us. The ground is in absolutely fantastic conditions. It's lovely, a three-runner race at home, but I'm glad it's over with in one way. When you've a horse like this and he's your best horse, and he's owned by very good owners, you just want to get this out of the way and progress from here and see where he brings us. I was only looking at today and today's opportunity was lovely for him. He'll get another before he goes back to Cheltenham in November. I'd like to keep it local and keep him off the truck, keep the travelling limit. I'm not sure if there's a race here later in the month but if there is he'll more than likely come back here.After Buddy One (IRE) finished 1st at Galway on Tue, 8th Oct 2024 2m 6f Chase Good

Quotes on Heart Wood (FR)
He had a couple of nice runs in beginners chases and in all fairness it seemed a reasonable mark. We said we’d aim for here today and we’re delighted to win this.

Quotes on Jumping Jet (IRE)
He has always said to me to put my head down, work hard and graft. He has shown me nothing but honesty. It means a lot and it is brilliant to get it. Garry Cribbin my agent has been a big help. I'm riding nice horses for good lads. The race panned out probably just the way I liked it. I rode her cold for a mile and gave her every chance. Luckily, it paid off. It is great to win it. Big thanks to Brian and Jayne McConnell, they are with me since before I got a trainer's licence, training point-to-pointers. It is great for Carl to win a big race like that. he wasted to do 10 stone and it made the difference. I thought the ground was too quick for her, but I said I'd roll the dice because it was a big race. She stayed going very well.After Jumping Jet (IRE) finished 1st at Downpatrick on Fri, 26th Apr 2024 3m 4f Hcap Chase Good
