FormscanBy Tom Weekes - MIGHTY OAK LAD is perfectly suited by these race conditions and has good recent form. The selection landed a gamble to win on New Year’s Day 2024 and while he failed to win since, finished third in a useful handicap chase at Navan last month and drops markedly in grade on suitably soft ground today. Rightfolksplease is rated 101 and has recent form but would prefer a sound surface and has done almost all his racing over two miles. John The Diva ran well in a similar race on his chase debut at Tramore in November (The Miracle Man finished seventh) and can get involved. Jap Pee M was an unlucky point-to-point loser last month and had prior hurdles form.

Quotes on Da Big Fella (IRE)
That’s my first winner and I train just down the road in Muckross. We bred the horse ourselves so we are delighted. My wife Valerie had horses before with Tom Cooper and a few others. He’s a horse that was showing ability at home but not on the track. He has really improved this year. We have six riding out at the moment all our own. I have the licence three years and we’ve had a few point-to-point winners. As a foal he was a big fella and that’s how he got the name. He’s crying out for a fence.After Da Big Fella (IRE) finished 1st at Killarney on Thu, 15th Jul 2021 2m 4f Hcap Hurdle Good

Quotes on John The Diva (FR)
He had a few nice runs in point to points two years ago but got a little bit of trouble so we left him off. He has improved with every run since and was tough today. It didn't look likely but he stayed at it well,. I suppose we'll keep going while the ground is like this and he'll definitely go over fences next year. He is a chaser in the making. There are six or seven lads - all from Tipperary, involved including my brother Paul.After John The Diva (FR) finished 1st at Thurles on Tue, 5th Mar 2024 2m 4f Maiden Hurdle Heavy

Quotes on Mighty Oak Lad (IRE)
there wasn't much pace on and Mighty Oak Lad is a good jumper, so Donagh lobbed away in front. He said he made a mistake at the first in Thurles and his race was over. Everything was happening a bit quick for him around there as he's a big oul horse. I'd say he's definitely suited by a bigger track and I'd say he'll stay hurdling. We'll give him a couple more runs and see if he can improve again.After Mighty Oak Lad (IRE) finished 1st at Fairyhouse on Mon, 1st Jan 2024 3m Hcap Hurdle Heavy

Quotes on Natural Breeze (IRE)
He has been placed so many days and he deserved that. It's his second win and he has been pretty consistent, he is a great little horse. He was down the bottom of the handicap and we took seven off with Conor's claim. It's great for Conor, that's his third winner and he is improving away. He probably wants another year of experience under his belt to really get going. He is definitely on the up. That's 41 winners now and it's my best season to date. It was lovely to hit the 40 winners mark the other day. I've been fifth in the trainers table nearly all year and while behind me is something like 18, I'm still miles behind the first four. For a yard of 50 odd horses at the level we are at, it's magic. I've got massive support from owners and I have wonderful staff. Long may it last.After Natural Breeze (IRE) finished 1st at Tramore on Sun, 21st Apr 2024 2m 5f Hcap Hurdle Yielding

Quotes on Rightfolksplease (IRE)
He is a grand horse and I actually don't think he is ungenuine, I think he barely gets a trip. He does idle a little in front, but I think fences will be the making of him. He will just be able to hang on and travel a bit longer. Hurdles maybe leave him a bit flat out. . I wouldn't say he had much in hand!After Rightfolksplease (IRE) finished 1st at Downpatrick on Sun, 16th Jun 2024 2m 1f Hcap Hurdle Good

Quotes on The Miracle Man (IRE)
I've trained for the Trappe family for a long time so I'm delighted to get another winner for them,. We've had this horse since he was a foal and always liked him. He moved to Peter Fahey for a while but had a problem shortly after he got him. It wasn't Peter's fault but, anyway, Austin (Trappe) decided to send him back to us. He had a nice run at Fairyhouse a couple of years ago which I thought would give him a squeak in this. It was his first run of the winter, so you're never sure, but he had prepped well. He'll run away for the winter and will pay his way. It's nice to be back amongst the winners. We only have four to run at the moment.After The Miracle Man (IRE) finished 1st at Sligo on Fri, 25th Oct 2024 2m 4f Hcap Hurdle Yielding

Quotes on Walk In Time (IRE)
She was keen today but didn't go at all the last day,. Fair play to Denis (O'Regan), he gave her a great ride the last day when she got shell-shocked. She was grand and settled before today's race but during the race was really on it. She was highly strung in her early days but is grand and is a nice mare who is well handicapped. . She was up in distance and is from a great family. I'm delighted for John O'Dwyer who owns her and bred Rock On Ruby. John lives a field away from John Nallen (point-to-point handler) so Champion Hurdle, Gold Cup and Grand National winners all came from that area of Tipperary.After Walk In Time (IRE) finished 1st at Tipperary on Thu, 6th Jul 2023 3m Hcap Hurdle Good to Yielding
