FormscanBy Alan Magee - DANCING CITY was a smart staying novice hurdler last season and should take high rank over fences. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding was a three-time winner in Grade 1 company last term including over three miles at both the Aintree and Punchestown Festivals and was also an impressive winner on his only point-to-point start. Shannon Royale won twice over hurdles last season including here over 2m6f and was only just denied on his chasing debut at Tipperary last month. Mossy Fen Park also won between the flags and made a promising start to his chasing career when runner-up to Firefox at Down Royal.

Quotes on Billericay Dickie (IRE)
I was delighted with that. I didn't think he'd go on that ground, but Paul said he handled it well. For a maiden, I thought he jumped very well and he could go wherever he wants. We'll look at a novice hurdle somewhere and we'll see if Paul thinks he's good enough for a race across the water. I'd like to get another run into him before we go there, if we go there. That was two-and-a-half, he's by New Bay and his dam won on the Flat over a mile-and-a-quarter. I wouldn't be going three miles with him, but he could stick around that trip or two-six. I might get another novice in him and then decide if he's good enough to go.After Billericay Dickie (IRE) finished 1st at Punchestown on Mon, 29th Jan 2024 2m 4f Maiden Hurdle Heavy

He’s going the right way. He’s won three now and might win another one. He’s a grand stamp of a horse, jumps well and if he takes to fences there is a nice chase in him down the line.After Buachaillbocht (GB) finished 1st at Punchestown on Sun, 18th Feb 2024 2m 6f Hcap Hurdle Heavy

Quotes on Castle Field Boy (IRE)
I'm delighted with him as I was worried about his lack of a recent run in those conditions over three miles. I thought it would be a big ask for him, but the one this with him is he is as tough as nails. I think he'll improve from that. The plan after winning in Tipperary was to go straight chasing with him, but we thought he might have had a bit left over hurdles. Now we don't know what we're going to do, so we'll play it by ear. . He is a Scorpion so will go through that ground all day. He has won on yielding but wouldn't want it any drier. We'll see how he comes out of this and go from there.After Castle Field Boy (IRE) finished 1st at Clonmel on Thu, 26th Oct 2023 3m Hcap Hurdle Heavy

Quotes on Cosmo Renfro (IRE)
You can't knock him as you won't find a tougher horse in training. He had finished second to Aodhan May twice so we were delighted when we saw that Charles (Byrnes, trainer) had nothing in it!. Neil (Cox, owner) was patient and gave him the time he needed last year and every day this season the horse has been good. His jumping wasn't brilliant in the past but cheekpieces have helped and he now makes ground at his hurdles. I wouldn't like running him back so soon as today but the heavier the ground, the better for him. He'll school over fences before going out for the summer.After Cosmo Renfro (IRE) finished 1st at Limerick on Fri, 19th Apr 2024 2m 3f Hcap Hurdle Soft to Heavy

Quotes on Dancing City (FR)
That’s fantastic for Jody, her first Grade 1. She’s always does her own thing in her races and it works! We often discuss what’s going to happen but when the tape goes up, Jody just does what Jody wants to do. She’s had some success, so we just have to take our hats off to her. This horse missed a year and I thought he could be Champion Bumper material. I thought that I’d rather do that than go hurdling. He can go hurdling next season. He followed home Facile Vega here two years ago and that sort of form stands up every day of the week. It paid off. He could run on the Flat over a mile and a half or a mile and six.After Dancing City (FR) finished 1st at Punchestown on Wed, 1st May 2024 2m 7f Hurdle Good to Yielding

Quotes on Shannon Royale (IRE)
I was disappointed with him the last day and put cheek pieces on to sharpen him up. He’d fitness on his side but Jack said he was a different horse altogether today and maybe he just needed the run the last day. His jumping was good but he has been disappointing. We’ll probably look for a three-mile handicap somewhere and see what happens.After Shannon Royale (IRE) finished 1st at Punchestown on Sun, 26th Nov 2023 2m 5f Maiden Hurdle Soft
