Jumps Profile 13/14 - Six Stone Ned

Six Stone Ned   7 y gr g Great Palm – Ashfield Rosie (Tony)

There is always a side competition for the best name and this is a strong contender ! Tony has certainly taken a chance here as the gelding has only won 2 of his 21 starts under rules. The first of those was in a 2m maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe in May last year where he beat Passasge Vendome 2 ½ l.  He then ran 9 times before his next victory in June this year,  when he won a 2m 4f beginners chase at Kilbeggan by 3/4l  from  Playtime Ben.  He has certainly been kept busy because he has run a further 6 times since then,  his best efforts, 2^nd in a 2m 4f novice chase at Killbeggan, beaten 15 l by Beechdale Lad, 2^nd at Punchestown in a grade 3 novice chase, beaten 5 ½ l by Art of Logistics over 2m 2f, and recently 3^rd at Galway in a 2m 1f grdae 3 novice chase, beaten 6 ½ l by Shrapnel. If not over tried he should win another nivice chase at least.
