FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Successful aboard Mica Malpic in 2022 and Harvey's Quay last year, Derek O'Connor now teams up with interesting handicap debutant AUREA FORTUNA. A half-brother to dual Grade 1 winner Battleoverdoyen, he ran his best race to date when sixth at Roscommon last month and still only five, there should be plenty more to come from the Mount Nelson chestnut. Second and third in this very contest 12 months ago, Galon De Vauzelle and Avec Espoir both look to have solid claims, with the latter sure to have plenty of supporters after easily winning two of his last three. Recent Killarney victor Meehall and the locally trained Kadys Dirha are others for the shortlist in this competitive affair.

Quotes on Dragon Rock (IRE)
He loves soft ground and loves a trip,. Brian Hughes is a fair judge, he rode him in Bangor one day when the ground was goodish and he said 'don't run this horse on this kind of ground anymore. I want you to bring him back for all the nationals next year, he'll stay all day'. Rachel owns him with a few other people and it's great to get it. It's great to see the horses back well again, I had a quiet spell but they are back flying again. I love having a good chaser and I think he's a nice chaser. It was an ordinary race, he carried a lot of weight and was the best horse in it. I'm delighted to have the job done now. We'll have a look for something over Christmas. My own young lad has actually got his licence in England today and we're absolutely thrilled, he's only 16. He can ride in hunter chases and some of those chases in England. I'll probably get a phone call in about five minutes that he has a race picked out for him in England!. If he has, we're not going to stop it. He's a good fun horse and he jumps well. The only mistake he made there was at the last and I shut my eyes!'After Dragon Rock (IRE) finished 1st at Fairyhouse on Fri, 24th Nov 2023 3m Hcap Chase Soft to Heavy

Quotes on Galon De Vauzelle (FR)
Very heavy ground the second-last day in Fairyhouse and he just didn't handle it. Hence he was out so wide today. I went to Cheltenham and I thought he was doing a half-speed down to the third-last, and just switched in and made a mistake at the wrong time. He did nothing wrong that day, I thought he was running a blinder. I just said to Tom Doran his owner that there is no Seddon in the race this year. Last year Seddon beat me 10 lengths and look what he went on to do. He was 4lb higher this year and we fitted blinkers for the first time not because he is ungenuine, but just to sharpen him up with what had happened in Cheltenham and before that. Going around the parade ring beforehand, he was on his 'A' game. I was very confident of a very big run. Thank God - now I don't look so stupid!. If you go back and look at his form last year and the horses that beat him, his runs were incredible. He just kept coming up against one. He is extremely genuine and such a gorgeous horse. Thank God he has won. I'd love to bring him back to the UK and try him on good ground over further. It is something I have in my head. I'd love to drop him in over three and a-half miles on good ground in a good chase over there to see what would happen. I love trying different things to see if you can find an edge. You can't stay what you are doing or you get to a level and you don't go further. That is my 33rd winner and has equalled my best season.After Galon De Vauzelle (FR) finished 1st at Leopardstown on Fri, 29th Dec 2023 2m 5f Hcap Chase Soft to Heavy

Quotes on Robinstown (IRE)
He is a tough horse who just gallops all day and could be one for a Pertemps Qualifier at Punchestown next month. Jordan was very good on him. I had him point to pointing and then Gordon (Elliott) had him so it is great to get him back and to win first time out. I'm delighted with how the horses are running and I have about 12 horses to run during the winter.After Robinstown (IRE) finished 1st at Clonmel on Thu, 27th Oct 2022 3m Hcap Hurdle Soft

Quotes on Meehall (IRE)
He won this race two years ago and jumped superbly tonight. Killashee (a front-runner) took him off his feet here a month ago and he ran no race but things worked out well today and Daniel King gave him a super ride and is very capable. . He jumped from fence to fence, stays really well and will go to Listowel (September) and Galway (October) next. Conor (son) got a fall in Tramore, where he got a kick, so unfortunately was out since yesterday but is back on Saturday.After Meehall (IRE) finished 1st at Killarney on Thu, 22nd Aug 2024 2m 7f Hcap Chase Good to Yielding
