'Pilgrim Dancer's good - I give him a chance'.

4.00 Galway Irish Stallion Farms EBF Premier Nursery 7f ATR Card page 95 Key stat Nine out of the last ten winners carried at least 9st. Only Black Quartz qualifies

What they say Aidan O'Brien, trainer of Black Quartz "He came out of his Curragh race well. He showed that day that he handles soft ground, so, once it isn't bottomless, we'll be hoping for a good run."

Emmanuel Hughes, trainer of Pilgrim Dancer "We think he's a good horse and I give him a good chance although he is coming back from a break on testing ground and over a new trip. He's fairly straight." Paul Deegan, trainer of Bobbyscot "The ground would be a concern if it's very testing, but he's a very straightforward horse who takes his races well and he hasn't been raised in the ratings for his maiden win."

Tony Mullins, trainer of Fammi Sognare "She was a good second at Roscommon last time, beaten by a filly who was getting all the allowances. This will be a tougher assignment, but she has her chance and the ground won't be a problem."

Tom Hogan, trainer of Red Fighter "He will like the uphill finish and we think he has improved since his win at Killarney. The fact that they are using a fresh strip of ground should help as the ground should be looser than it was earlier in the week."

Brian Nolan, trainer of Strandhill "She's improving with every run and she does seem to appreciate soft ground. She's dropping back a furlong in trip, which should suit, but being drawn one isn't going to be a help."

Eddie Harty, trainer of Corcovada "She's going seven furlongs for the first time, and while she goes on the ground, I don't think it is ideal for her. But it is a good pot and worth having a shot at. She's in good form."
