FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Course specialist CLEAR QUARTZ was an unlucky loser when attempting his second summer festival win in August. Ideally suited by soft ground, he met some trouble in-running on his latest start but finished well, has a particular fondness for here and looks sure to compete. San Aer also loves the Galway air and is chasing his third consecutive yearly win over today's course-and-distance. A four-time winner, he has won at consecutive October meetings (comprehensively beating the selection in 2022) and while beaten twice at the recent summer festival, ran well both times and relishes these conditions. Another course winner Monasterboice is open to further improvement being a three-year-old but competes from a career high mark and meets some older course pro's.

Quotes on San Aer (IRE)
I was nervous for a moment but he said if he had to pull him up to go wide, it would have sickened the horse so he kept chancing the inside. He got a good ride, loves that ground and it couldn't be heavy enough for him. He won this race last year, is a great honest horse and keeps pulling out every day. He had a nice second last week and while he got stopped, wouldn't have won. He'll go to the Curragh on Sunday for either a E50,000 mile handicap or another race over seven furlongs. I'll chat with the owners and decide.After San Aer (IRE) finished 1st at Galway on Mon, 30th Oct 2023 1m Flat Hcap Heavy

Quotes on Casanova (GB)
He has really turned inside out. He had loads of problems before we bought him and he has gotten stronger and really filled out. I had a meal with the Dooley brothers yesterday and we said if he won this we might go for the Balmoral Handicap at Ascot on Champions Day so that will probably be the target now. We don't work him at home because he's a hard ride and very keen, it's all about settling him.After Casanova (GB) finished 1st at Punchestown on Tue, 14th Sep 2021 1m 1f Flat Good

Quotes on Clear Quartz (IRE)
He missed last year through injury and we got him back at the end of the year but he just loves this place. When he ran here last October, he got wiped out of it and got no luck but today we got luck. Ronnie (Ronan Whelan) gave him an absolute peach of a ride from stall 14, managed to come down the inside and won the race for us.After Clear Quartz (IRE) finished 1st at Galway on Tue, 30th Jul 2024 1m Flat Hcap Good to Yielding
