FormscanBy Gary Carson - MYSTICAL POWER can turn the tables on Cheltenham conqueror Slade Steel on what should be less testing ground. Annie Power's son wasn't doing a lot in front and was value for a bit more than his winning margin at Aintree, when beating Firefox by half a length. The deep ground looked to take a toll late on at Cheltenham but he handles it soft as he showed last time. Slade Steel obviously commands plenty of respect and was a good winner of the Supreme Novices. His stamina may have been the difference when the pair met last time. Firefox has been held by the aforementioned pair on his last couple of outings but is sure to be thereabouts again.

Quotes on Asian Master (IRE)
She did that very well,. I am happy she showed her true colours on the track as things haven’t gone right with her in the autumn. I took a chance and ran her and she has done it well. I imagine she will stick to bumpers rather than going jumping as she can do that next season.After Asian Master (IRE) finished 1st at Thurles on Sun, 17th Dec 2023 1m 7f Maiden Hurdle Yielding

Quotes on Fascile Mode (IRE)
it’s great to get that job done and I was expected a good run. I was disappointed he did that (mistake) at the third last but it was his first day at school. Since he came here today he was gawking everywhere and was on his toes for some reason. He settled well in the race which was great but was having a good look at everything and I’d say he would have learned a lot. I’m very happy with him. There is a novice in Cheltenham at the November meeting or the Royal Bond but his jumping will have to sharpen up. He’s brilliant at home and has done a lot of schooling.After Fascile Mode (IRE) finished 1st at Punchestown on Wed, 11th Oct 2023 2m Maiden Hurdle Yielding to Soft

Quotes on Firefox (IRE)
He’s a good horse and Jack said he’s so straightforward,. We thought he needed two and a half miles and that’s why we were making every post a winning post. Jack said he could go two and a half but he’s got so much boot and is so relaxed that everything is very easy to him. He looks exciting and you’d like his attitude. We wanted to get today out of the way first and I just loved the way he jumped. Jack said he was so professional over the last two.After Firefox (IRE) finished 1st at Fairyhouse on Sat, 2nd Dec 2023 2m Maiden Hurdle Soft

Quotes on Ile Atlantique (FR)
He’s a nice sort and is just learning on the job. He was very green turning for home and when Patrick asked him, it took a while for the penny to drop up the straight. I think he’s championship bumper class so he’ll be heading down that road. He’ll probably come back here for the Dublin Racing Festival.After Ile Atlantique (FR) finished 1st at Leopardstown on Wed, 28th Dec 2022 2m Bumper Soft

Quotes on King Of Kingsfield (IRE)
That was great. We were riding him all wrong and the last day we changed our minds in the Grade One. Jack (Kennedy) was delighted with the way he settled and he jumped well, so we’re very happy. He’s not a bad horse and to be honest he had disappointed me up until now as I always thought he was a proper horse. He might just come good now, I’d say the ground could be key to him as well.After King Of Kingsfield (IRE) finished 1st at Leopardstown on Tue, 26th Dec 2023 2m Maiden Hurdle Yielding

Quotes on Mystical Power (IRE)
I was very impressed with him, he wouldn't show that at home and seems to save his best for the track, which is a great trait. We were a little bit worried about the heavy ground as he's coming from a summer campaign but it looks like he went through it very well. We gave him a break after he had his couple of runs in the summer and brought him back to see if he would handle a winter campaign. Mark rode him a couple of weeks ago and thought he had improved hugely from when he had ridden him earlier in the year - he showed that today. At the moment you probably wouldn't go any further than two miles until you have to. Mark said he rides a lot quicker on the track than he does at home. I thought he showed a fair turn of foot there. I know the (McManus) camp have the second favourite (Jeriko Du Reponet) for the Supreme as well so they might want to split them up. We'll get him home, check him out and then Willie will decide plans in a couple of weeks.After Mystical Power (IRE) finished 1st at Punchestown on Sun, 14th Jan 2024 2m Hurdle Soft

Quotes on Slade Steel (IRE)
I’m delighted with him, Rachael gave him a super ride and fair play to the Robcour team – they said Ballyburn has beaten us twice and we need to just avoid him, so that’s what we did and it’s worked out really well for us,. It’s lovely to see young horses like him coming through, we’re very fortunate the support we get from everyone and thankfully we get the odd result. Cheltenham is an amazing, special place. We’ve had a lot of luck here and it’s a cliche, but it’s our Olympics and we’re lucky to be able to take part. You definitely breathe a sigh of relief (after having a winner). We’ve never won the Supreme before so I don’t know this feeling, but it’s good. When you’ve had one winner you want two, but we’re delighted to get one. He was one of our big hopes coming here and it’s great for the team.After Slade Steel (IRE) finished 1st at Cheltenham on Tue, 12th Mar 2024 2m Hurdle Heavy

Quotes on Tullyhill (FR)
He has a fair engine and we just needed to give him confidence jumping. David Casey (assistant trainer) was deputised with that job and has done a right job. He’s entitled to go anywhere after a performance like that. I thought he’d be an out-and-out stayer but he has plenty of speed, a great cruising speed, and now his jumping is starting to match his cruising speed. He’s in the Supreme and I’ll have a word with connections and see what they would like to do.After Tullyhill (FR) finished 1st at Punchestown on Sun, 18th Feb 2024 1m 7f Hurdle Heavy

Quotes on Fun Fun Fun (IRE)
That was super. The race suited her, a quick enough two miles, and she jumped great, a little bit keen. She'll go to Fairyhouse next, I don't know if two-and-a-half miles there will really suit her but it's mares novice Grade 1 so she'll go there. I can't wait for her to go chasing next year, her pedigree is all staying chasers. I think when she goes over fences she might be able to go out in trip. If she jumps as well she could be hard to catch in those mares chases next year. She wants to win and she just loves jumping. In her bumpers we were trying to hold her up but when she's so good to jump you're better off just letting her roll away and I think that's improved her.After Fun Fun Fun (IRE) finished 1st at Naas on Sun, 10th Mar 2024 1m 7f Hurdle Soft
