FormscanBy Donal Murphy - The progressive ROSSO might be able to take this on his first try in handicap company. A real stayer, the Camelot bay will appreciate this step up in trip and is versatile regards ground. Beaten by a neck on recent starts at Galway and Gowran respectively, Highland Bling certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn. The highest rated runner in the line-up, he too is upped in trip and will be ridden by Keithen Kennedy who claims a valuable 7lb. While he failed to make an impact when last seen in a Listed heat at Leopardstown, a much improved performance is likely from the Aidan O'Brien-trained Emphasis. A never nearer fourth at the Curragh last month, Slurricane warrants respect, while dual winner Granite Bay is another for the shortlist.
An extended handicap for three years old only (90 = 10st)Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.

Quotes on Highland Bling (IRE)
He was game and stuck at it well. Shane thought he was going too quick six furlongs out but he just kept going,. The other horse headed him and he fought back. He's only really learning now, he's a big laidback horse. He didn't run last year and he'll improve a lot from that. He'll go handicapping now.After Highland Bling (IRE) finished 1st at Fairyhouse on Fri, 7th Jun 2024 1m 4f Flat Maiden Good

Quotes on Messerschmitt (IRE)
I thought the ground would be too soft for him but he is probably a very nice horse. His dam won a couple and he is a gorgeous horse who came out of Tally Ho (Stud). He loves fast ground and is a horse who could end up somewhere else (being sold). He is my own and if there is money there for them, we sell. That's the way it is and we'll se how it goes.After Messerschmitt (IRE) finished 1st at Thurles on Thu, 5th Oct 2023 1m Flat Maiden Soft

Quotes on Cruden (GB)
we had a lovely bunch of two-year-olds last year but we said they were big backward three-year-olds (of the future) and he is a big big horse who is only starting to fill his frame. He is learning on the job. When Shane got him out and into the open he didn't know what to do but he really ground it out and was good and game at the line. We'll build on this, get him home and see how he comes out of this but stepping up to 1m6f will be no problem as he is a gorgeous big stayer in the making. I was a bit worried about the ground and talked to mum on the way down but Shane said 'oh he'll be fine' although I think he'll definitely improve for better ground. It is great for Alpha Racing (owners).After Cruden (GB) finished 1st at Limerick on Thu, 16th May 2024 1m 3f Flat Maiden Soft to Heavy

Quotes on Granite Bay (GB)
It's great that he followed (up). We were a bit concerned about the ground, we were hoping for a few showers during the day and were debating about whether we'd run him or not. Ronan said he'd be comfortable on good ground, but we just feel that he's a horse that would like to get his toe in. He is a bit big and immature yet. He's a work in progress, he seems to be improving and we're delighted with him. Ronan said it was plenty quick enough down the back straight for him which is unusual here. He said when he met the rising ground he was more comfortable on that. He will handle good ground when he matures a little bit more. It's great that he's won two and fingers crossed he's progressing. We'll keep him to the normal handicaps, he's only coming up through the ranks and learning his job. He's after having two quicks runs so we won't be looking for anything immediately with him. We'll freshen him up a little bit, it's a long season still ahead of us.After Granite Bay (GB) finished 1st at Roscommon on Mon, 20th May 2024 1m 4f Flat Hcap Good

Quotes on Slurricane (IRE)
He is a lovely horse, he got gelded last year and it was his first run in a handicap. He concentrated more today and while I was worried about the ground, Dusty (Foley) said he handled it fine. He had good runs in maidens last year, but probably trained off on his last run. He has improved and will want further. Dusty said they went very quick today and it fell into his lap, but we were using a jockey who is riding with so much confidence at the moment. I left tactics to him and at one stage he was five lengths last, but he is on fire. We have him riding work at the Curragh two or three days a week and that is making an awful difference.After Slurricane (IRE) finished 1st at Killarney on Tue, 14th May 2024 1m Flat Hcap Soft to Heavy
