FormscanBy Michael Graham - CHAMPELLA put in an excellent performance to beat a big field in a mares' handicap hurdle over the minimum trip at the Galway Festival. She was winning form over an extended 2m4f, so should cope with this trip. Tom Harney is back on board and his 7lb claim offsets the bulk of the 9lb rise she got for winning in Ballybrit. Littlebiggie has been very consistent throughout this year and her victory came over an almost identical trip at this track in May. The returning Real Steel and Gold Speed both have the ability to get involved if fully wound up for action, while Sligo winner Early Arrival is another to note.
An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards (140 = 11st 12lbs)Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.

Quotes on Real Steel (FR)
It was brilliant the way it worked out. A huge thanks to Tadhg Moynihan, I picked him out at the sales and rang him and asked if he would buy him. He said Eric if you want him and I said 'I don't want to go home without him'. So I bought him but he paid for him. He paid for himself today. To win one of these handicaps is great. He was well handicapped if we could rekindle him, he spent two years doing nothing in England, whatever went wrong there. We changed his routine and we were always very kind to him. We brought him a few different places to work and we never took him off the bridle. We trained him like he was a real good horse and he always worked against horses that he could beat just to try and mentally get him back to where he was. He was a real good horse. He was only beaten seven-and-a-quarter lengths in a Gold Cup. I met Tadhg in Listowel one year, he was a great friend of Sean Currans', and we've been great friends ever since. He always said he'd love to win the Kerry National so I bought this fella to try and win it. He'll be there next year but this will do!. Conor gave him a great ride and did everything right so it's fantastic.After Real Steel (FR) finished 1st at Leopardstown on Tue, 27th Dec 2022 3m Hcap Chase Soft

Quotes on Gold Speed (IRE)
As a young horse he showed a lot of potential and he’s after coming back off three career threatening injuries. I’ve never had a winner in Listowel before and I’ve had plenty of seconds and thirds over the past 15 years. He was in earlier in the week and I didn’t run him because of the ground. I knew he was real well coming here and on the back of the run in Galway, I was expected a big run. Everything is a bonus with him now and luckily the last year and a half he’s been very good. We don’t over race him and we keep him fresh.After Gold Speed (IRE) finished 1st at Listowel on Sat, 23rd Sep 2023 2m 4f Hcap Hurdle Yielding to Soft

Quotes on Littlebiggie (IRE)
She was running well last winter but if she had been younger, I wouldn't have run her during the winter but it was just to get the experience into her. She had been buzzy and I won't say she was a handful but was just that little bit babyish. That ground, jumping out smartly like that and the trip were important to her. She doesn't quicken but has a good high tempo and is a nice one to have for the summer. You'd like to think she'll be a better mare over fences too as she jumps great. Liam (Quinlan) is in with me, so knows her and knows how to ride her, and Martin (Hogan, owner) is from right across the road.After Littlebiggie (IRE) finished 1st at Killarney on Mon, 13th May 2024 2m 6f Maiden Hurdle Good to Yielding

Quotes on Peaches And Cream (IRE)
He ran a cracker in the Ulster National (third) and I left him a little bit short for that race, to be honest. I probably should have given him a run over hurdles before it. I was confident that he’d run a big race here today. We’ll see what the handicapper does but I suppose the Midlands National at Kilbeggan would be an obvious race to look at. He’s kept improving a bit and has youth on his side. He’s not that big and was a 1200 quid August Sale horse. He’s been a good servant. He might improve enough to be an Irish National horse, you never know.After Peaches And Cream (IRE) finished 1st at Punchestown on Sat, 30th Apr 2022 3m 7f Hcap Chase Yielding to Soft

Quotes on Anyway (GER)
It had gone too soft for him at Listowel (last September) and I don't know what happened at Fairyhouse (October) as he never travelled,. He has been in great order and it was Carl's first time riding for me. We'll go for another hurdle but can also go over fences as he has schooled over them. Hopefully he'll have a nice summer.After Anyway (GER) finished 1st at Cork on Sat, 11th May 2024 2m 4f Hcap Hurdle Good

Quotes on Ballycashin (IRE)
We were thinking a Flemensfirth wanted soft ground and I’d say she’s a better mare on a bit of nice ground. Danny decided to ride her chilly out the back to let her get into a rhythm and she won well. We were surprised that she hasn’t done that up to now but I’d say we were riding her wrong and on the wrong ground.
