FormscanBy Michael Graham - BLANC DE NOIR has been far from outclassed in better company and can contend in this handicap. He is only 2lb higher than when winning at the Curragh last summer. Rathbranchurch battled hard to win in Bellewstown and his record in Navan (only once out of the money) brings him right into contention. Kevin Coleman won this race last year and has prospects with Only Spoofing. He showed a welcome return to form when a close third behind Rathbranchurch in Bellewstown. Fair Taxes is up 8lb for winning by a neck off the front in Fairyhouse, but he has only had four runs so there should be more in his locker.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards (75 = 10st)Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.

Quotes on Rathbranchurch (IRE)
He's been second four times this year. The owners are local so I'm delighted for them as they stuck with the horse all year, it's great to get a win with him,. We made a mistake as I thought he might get the seven in Fairyhouse, as it's a handy seven, but he doesn't seem to get that trip. This trip here is ideal for him. He's entered at the Curragh on Saturday and we might have to go again. Wesley is well worth his claim, I reckon he's the best apprentice in the country. Things just didn't work out for him, but they are now. There is a long road to go yet, but he's probably getting a bit more firepower now with Johnny (Murtagh) than when he was with me. He puts a lot of work in. That's 15 on the board for me this season and they are all newish horses. Hopefully we can keep it going.After Rathbranchurch (IRE) finished 1st at Navan on Wed, 4th Oct 2023 5f Flat Hcap Yielding to Soft

Quotes on Only Spoofing (IRE)
We were hopeful with the track and the step back to five (furlongs). It's hard to place a horse like him, there is not many races. It was a bit of a quick turnaround from last week but we've done it before and he's old now so he knows the gameplan. We'll do the same again, go back to Epsom and then go to the Curragh. He ran in England five times last year and is not a great traveller. It took it out of him and he possibly won't go to the UK as much. It is too much of an ask. He takes his racing well, I think there is a race for him in the meantime in the Curragh. If it is not five, I don't think there is much point. None of his wins are past the five. To be honest he's not the quickest horse, he would be always on his head. It looked like he had a bit much to do but he got there in the end. Everyone that rides him says he needs to step up but he has never won beyond five!After Only Spoofing (IRE) finished 1st at Navan on Sat, 14th May 2022 5f Flat Hcap Good

Quotes on Charming Lady (IRE)
I thought she was a serious price, she had been working well,. We had her very right when she won at Fairyhouse and I'd say she just went off the boil a bit after it. We freshened her up a bit since that and she did a couple of really sharp bits of work recently. She just hung on but she showed a lot of boot. It's great for Elaine and Gerry (Shevlin) who are great supporters. Gerry is in involved with Glyde Ranger as well so they are having a good year. She's entered at Navan on Saturday but at the minute she's out of the handicap so we'll probably look for something a bit easier. We'll see how she is.After Charming Lady (IRE) finished 1st at Bellewstown on Tue, 29th Aug 2023 5f Flat Hcap Good to Yielding

Quotes on Distillate (GB)
Distillate had slipped down the handicap which is a huge help to horses like these, as they always go to a level and then they struggle. It is only when they come back down that they get competitive again and she had come back down to 65 today, which made her competitive. We stepped her up (in distance) and he gave her a good ride as he had to kick when she did as she travelled very easily. She just held on but were in front where it matters. we'll potter away in similar races and the boys (Devlin, O'Hare and Smith) are from the north of Ireland and love running horses up in Down Royal. Actually I had Distillate in at Down Royal last weekend but I forgot to declare her, as I messed up my phone! I told them we were running in Cork instead so it was all for the good!After Distillate (GB) finished 1st at Cork on Tue, 21st May 2024 7f Flat Hcap Good to Yielding
