FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Successful in a bumper on this programme two years ago, ROCKSTOWN GIRL is taken to supplement Tipperary gains from May. There just seem to be less risks attached with Anthony McCann's mare, and it appeared a reasonable prediction when her trainer looked forward to a good campaign for the summer with the chestnut after the latest win. Rockstown Girl is closely matched on official ratings with several of her opponents. More can surely be expected from the current 116 assessed Flat-bred though, given that she was placed in a Grade 2 bumper. The pace she undoubtedly possesses can give one of the two mares in the field, the edge over If You Let Me and Le Coq Hardi.

Quotes on If You Let Me (GB)
It was a nice opportunity and he jumped really well and loved that ground. We fancied him a few days in bumpers and he just didn’t find anything off the bridle and you’d wonder if something came to him what there would be there. Hopefully that will give him a bit of confidence and he’ll be campaigned over the summer.After If You Let Me (GB) finished 1st at Kilbeggan on Fri, 17th May 2024 2m Maiden Hurdle Good to Yielding

Quotes on On The Steel (IRE)
He's a lovely horse and had a couple of nice bumper runs. We knew he wanted a bit of better ground. He's still a baby, still learning on the job, and will be better over a little bit further, I think. We didn't go that hard and I was a happy to sit a bit handier than I'd planned to be and to be pushing it along when I could. He jumped great and he's finished off great. The ground has dried out. There's no heavy in it at all and I'd nearly be calling it yielding to soft. It's definitely on the better side of soft anyway.After On The Steel (IRE) finished 1st at Ballinrobe on Fri, 19th Apr 2024 2m 1f Maiden Hurdle Soft

Quotes on Valsorpresa (GB)
He hasn't been straightforward, he was a bit keen early on in his career. He's going to win plenty of races - he's no Presenting Percy (brother) and he's not the biggest in the world, but he's going to win plenty of races. I'd say it is beautiful ground as it always is in Downpatrick. All credit to Downpatrick, every time you come into the racecourse there is something new. New vets box, new stable yard, new trotting up area. I think a lot of racecourses could take a leaf out of their book. Paul (Townend) is going to be very hard beat (in jockeys' title race), he's got serious ammunition for Punchestown. I thought coming into today if he (Kennedy) rode another four winners he would have a chance. Another three to go and Paul would have to ride 11 to beat him.After Valsorpresa (GB) finished 1st at Downpatrick on Fri, 26th Apr 2024 2m 1f Maiden Hurdle Good

Quotes on Morning Soldier (IRE)
It was a good step forward and he obviously learned a bit in Naas, we did think a bit of him and were hoping for a better run first time. I'd say he likes the better surface here and the step up in trip, he will get a mile as well. He stuck it out well there as he was on his own for a long time. I'd be impressed enough. He was an Orby sale horse and has the pedigree as well. I'm not surprised, on the book, that he would win a little race like that. He's there for sale so we'll see what happens.After Morning Soldier (IRE) finished 1st at Dundalk on Wed, 27th Oct 2021 7f Flat Maiden Standard

Quotes on Rockstown Girl (IRE)
She hit the first hurdle in Thurles the last day and her race was over as she got a bad fright. We gave her a break after that. She’s a top class mare and was third in a Grade 2 bumper at Leopardstown. James said she took a blow turning in and had plenty left in the tank. I was disappointed with myself that I didn’t have her fitter than that. She should have a good campaign now for the summer.After Rockstown Girl (IRE) finished 1st at Tipperary on Wed, 15th May 2024 2m Maiden Hurdle Good to Yielding
