FormscanBy Tom Weekes - MY GREAT MATE has been running consistently well on similar ground and over similar distances recently and is dependable. A dual bumper winner including once at last year's festival over this course, he won his maiden hurdle by 31 lengths at Sligo recently and while overturned by a stablemate at Listowel, that rival is himself capable. There was nothing exciting about Prends Garde A Toi's recent Downpatrick win but that was his first run since Christmas and should improve, having also shown nice bumper form last term. Fenway Park finished a useful fourth at the Punchestown festival last May before scoring at that course later that month. He should compete although isn't helped by lacking a recent run.

Quotes on Desert Cave (IRE)
That was mighty and I’m delighted for Harry who is a great supporter of ours. He’s a horse that won a four-year-old (point-to-point) and had a couple of niggly problems so Harry threw him out into a field for a year. He’s relished a step up in trip and better ground. I suppose he’ll get a good hike in the handicap for that, but it was a very weak race. I thought he was a bit of a monkey when he was running in winners’ races and he got beat in two winners. He went today but maybe not every day!After Desert Cave (IRE) finished 1st at Kilbeggan on Mon, 17th Jun 2024 3m Hcap Hurdle Good

Quotes on Fenway Park (IRE)
Gavin Cromwell: .That was grand. I suppose with the run at the festival here a repeat performance of that and the two-and-a-half miles looked ideal today,. He was quite professional. I was a little bit worried when the second horse came to him, I thought we were in trouble, but he pulled it out again to be fair to him.After Fenway Park (IRE) finished 1st at Punchestown on Tue, 21st May 2024 2m 4f Maiden Hurdle Good to Yielding

Quotes on Itsalladream (IRE)
Our eldest lad Liam found this horse from Wexford and he recommended us to buy him, as he had some okay point-to-point form. He isn't the easiest, is tricky and at the start he dropped Jack. Our lads do a great job with him at home, though, and Liam rides him out. He wears the hood as he gets too lit up and getting him from the parade ring to the start is the hard part. In the race he is grand, it was a super ride by Jack and hopefully he will progress now. We won't get too excited with today, it was great to win here and he is a fine big horse who is a right chaser in the making.After Itsalladream (IRE) finished 1st at Galway on Mon, 9th Sep 2024 2m Maiden Hurdle Yielding

Quotes on My Great Mate (IRE)
it’s a nice new team of people and it was a very brave performance from the horse, having been so keen during the race. If he got beaten today I was happy to go over hurdles but we may give him a break now and come back after Christmas for another bumper. We could wait as he’s only four and keep him a novice over hurdles until next season.After My Great Mate (IRE) finished 1st at Punchestown on Wed, 11th Oct 2023 2m Bumper Yielding to Soft

Quotes on Heroes Rise (IRE)
the yard are in class form and all the summer horses are in and flying. I liked this horse, he had done nothing wrong on his previous runs although greeness probably beat him. The conditions for today's race suited better and he travelled, settled, jumped and did everything right.After Heroes Rise (IRE) finished 1st at Listowel on Sat, 1st Jun 2024 2m 4f Maiden Hurdle Good
