FormscanBy Michael Graham - JESSE EVANS has been a terrific money-spinner over hurdles and on the Flat for Noel Meade, and gets the opportunity to add to those gains on his first start over fences. This looks a good spot for his chasing debut as he has won twice before in Killarney. She's A Fine Wine is another set for her first crack at the bigger obstacles. She arrives on the back of a decent fourth place in a competitive handicap hurdle at Galway and won in Ballinrobe on her penultimate start. There is still time for San Salvador to put it all together over fences, while Palace Rock is one to monitor in the market.

Quotes on Ballywilliam Boy (IRE)
I had disease in my hay and couldn't understand how he got beaten at Limerick. He was cruising turning-in at Limerick, like today, but didn't get home. He'll probably go to Mallow for a Grade 3 novice hurdle at the weekend. Today's race was like a piece of work and he'll go on any ground. My owner is anxious to go chasing but I don't know if that'll happen because he is a novice hurdler until the end of November. We could go chasing in December, or later, maybe next season. I should probably keep his for chasing next season.After Ballywilliam Boy (IRE) finished 1st at Galway on Sun, 24th Oct 2021 2m 4f Hurdle Soft to Heavy

Quotes on Jesse Evans (IRE)
Jesse Evans is a top class horse and had a brilliant run in the Galway Hurdle the last day when he just bumped into one (Zarak The Brave). He gives you a savage feeling in a race, he just travels and finds plenty. Things worked out perfectly, I had a lovely position and had something to aim at turning in. He kept finding and finding and hit the line strong. I'm delighted for the owners to get that win with him today. I'm apprenticed to Gavin Cromwell and ride out most days for him and ride out for Noel every Thursday. I'd never ridden Jesse Evans before, that's my first winner for Noel and it's also my biggest winner.After Jesse Evans (IRE) finished 1st at Killarney on Thu, 24th Aug 2023 1m 6f Flat Hcap Yielding

Quotes on Palace Rock (IRE)
On another day he might have won the last day and to win is great. I didn't know if he'd go on the heavy ground but it wasn't as heavy and was tacky, although his mother wanted it bottomless. I thought the world of this horse and always thought he was my best horse but the other horse (Max Flamingo) seems to be better. He had been frustrating but works very well and has shown it now. He doesn't go right-handed and even today he needed a rail. He could come back here or otherwise go to Aintree.After Palace Rock (IRE) finished 1st at Naas on Sun, 27th Feb 2022 1m 7f Hcap Hurdle Soft to Heavy

Quotes on San Salvador (IRE)
He ran very well the last day in Cork (in second last month) and this is a nice pot (€24,000) to win. The race worked out lovely for him. He got a nice position, made one mistake down the back, but otherwise jumped very well through the race. We’ll see what the handicapper does and he’ll be going for another good handicap somewhere. JJ is riding great. He’s been a very good, solid rider for years and is getting the opportunities and confidence with winners.After San Salvador (IRE) finished 1st at Punchestown on Sat, 31st Dec 2022 2m 3f Hcap Hurdle Soft to Heavy

It's not before time but he had two great runs. He jumps like a buck and he loves that ground,. We'll go for a novice hurdle now and see how much he can step up. He's getting there and he can go back on the Flat as well, a mile-and-a-half on the Flat as a mile-six just gets to him a bit.After Striking (FR) finished 1st at Punchestown on Sat, 10th Jun 2023 2m Maiden Hurdle Good to Yielding

Quotes on Arctic Fly (IRE)
It wasn't the plan to make the running, but she took me there and I was a little worried she was doing a bit too much the whole way around, but she picked up well in the straight. I'd imagine we'll give her a chance at some black-type, maybe in Fairyhouse. She has a lovely pedigree. I think that's Brendan's (O'Sullivan) first runner, and winner, in his colours so it's very special for him. It looked like a good bumper on paper and I'd say the second horse is nice. Anything that wins at Leopardstown first time out is normally not too bad.After Arctic Fly (IRE) finished 1st at Leopardstown on Mon, 6th Mar 2023 2m Bumper Yielding

Quotes on Ballybawn Belter (IRE)
She missed the break badly in Galway and, in hindsight, at a quick track like that she probably didn't have the speed to drop down in trip. Maybe at the likes of Navan in the winter she'd be okay back in trip. I saw this race and said we'd try her over two-six. I don't think they went very quick, though, so she's probably still a two-and-a-half mare with the boot she shows. I was contemplating going over fences but Frank (Berry) twisted my arm and said we'd keep her over hurdles for the time being. I'm delighted with her. She was a skinny, narrow, very light thing last year and really has rounded up and strengthened up. Four-year-old fillies can lose their way but she's really started to go the right way physically. We'll look for another hurdle for her.After Ballybawn Belter (IRE) finished 1st at Ballinrobe on Fri, 15th Sep 2023 2m 5f Hcap Hurdle Yielding

I'm delighted for Michael and the Dempseys (owners), that's their first horse with us and she was a lovely one to get. She did it really nicely, jumped really well and hopefully has a good future ahead of her. I have no race in mind as we said we'd start here and see and we're not in any rush with her.
