FormscanBy John O'Riordan - NOBLE BIRTH can make a winning stable debut for trainer Gavin Cromwell. Three times successful over hurdles for Eric McNamara, the seven-year-old is nicely treated off a 4lb lower chasing mark. Runner-up on his first start over fences in Killarney in August, the gelding was hampered by a faller when down the field at Galway after. Switched straight into handicap company after just the two runs, that decision can be rewarded. Hand Over Fist shouldn't be far away for the Henry De Bromhead yard. A winner over fences at Kilbeggan in August, the seven-year-old was still in front when falling two out at Downpatrick next time. Runner-up on her last two outings, Bella Bliss, should again be competitive for trainer John McConnell.
An extended handicap steeplechase for four years old and upwards rated 0-123Penalties - Winner of a steeplechase after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each steeplechase won.

Quotes on Hascoeur Clermont (FR)
It is great for the syndicate (Riverview Racing Syndicate) who are from Trim and I'm delighted for them. This is compensation for his last two runs as he ballooned the last at Downpatrick and it might have cost him. It is a brilliant place for them to get their first winner. We weren't sure about the ground, but he handled it away well. He'll continue running in staying chases and we'll make hay while the sun shines.After Hascoeur Clermont (FR) finished 1st at Galway on Sun, 29th Oct 2023 2m 6f Hcap Chase Heavy

Quotes on I A Connect (IRE)
He (Heskin) was lucky he held on, he was nearly caught napping. He said when the horse came he actually picked up again but he nearly went by him that quick that is was all over, he was coming at him fast. He probably wants further and it's nice to win. He'll be better over two-and-a-half miles.After I A Connect (IRE) finished 1st at Punchestown on Tue, 23rd Nov 2021 2m Hurdle Good to Yielding

Quotes on Clonmeen (IRE)
The horses were all sick for about six weeks and it’s great to see them back in form. That was tight for comfort, but it was a tough performance, and the main thing is he won.

Quotes on Bella Bliss (IRE)
She was very unlucky the last day in Hexham (when second), she should have won. She came out of it very well and the guys Claire (Wylie) and Mark (Devlin, owners) wanted to come here. When we saw the entries, we said it was worth a crack. She has done it well, she's a pretty decent mare. She has a bit of class about her. I think she will go chasing at some point in the summer, but we might have a crack at another hurdle in the meantime. She has been a very consistent mare and I wouldn't mind a few more like her.

Quotes on History Of Fashion (IRE)
he comes from the family of Height Of Fashion (runner-up to Arkle in the 1964 Irish Grand National) and I was trying to sell him one time and told everybody about this, but they wouldn't listen. I said 'I'll win the Irish National - we won't have Arkle to beat!' but they were laughing at me. It's very much on the cards now as needs a trip and if it was another mile. he'd just be coming into it. He jumps a bit to the right but he is a lovely horse and I'm delighted with that.After History Of Fashion (IRE) finished 1st at Down Royal on Tue, 25th Jan 2022 3m Hcap Chase Yielding

Quotes on Toofareastiswest (IRE)
This is my first winner for a good few years (January 2004) so it is nice to get it - Eoghan (son, previous license holder and now manager of Cork Racecourse) got a promotion!. Toofareastiswest had a good long break before he came back in October and he has improved every day. He deserved his turn and will go for something similar.
