7 y bg Jeremy – Sainte Barrone (Bob, Cod, Neil)
Very lightly raced for a 7 year old, he is certainly making his mark now, finishing last season as the highest rated novice hurdler, and is due to go novice chasing this season. He made his debut in March 2018 at Ballinaboola, finishing 3rd in a 2m 4f 4year old maiden point, beaten 11 ½ l behind Envoi Allen. He then won a 3m maiden 4year old point at Dromahane by 1 ½ l from Catch The Swallows, and then was off for 622 days. He reappeared for Willie Mullins in November 2019, finishing 2 ½ l third at Fairyhouse in a 2m bumper behind Assemble (received 7lb), then in December at Leopardstown won a 2m 4f bumper by 6l from Freedom To Dream. In February at Leopardstown he won a grade 2 2m bumper by 7 ½ l from Risk Factor (received 1 lb), then finished the season in March last year, at Cheltenham, finishing 2nd in the 2m grade 1 Champion bumper, beaten 2 ½ l by Ferney Hollow. He reappeared at Cork last November, winning a 2m maiden hurdle by 2 ½ l from Master McShee, then in December at Leopardstown, won the grade 1 2m Future Champions novice hurdle by 9l from Irascible. In February he won a 2m grade 1 novice hurdle at Leopardstown by 3 ¼ l from Ballyadam , and finished the season with a dominant victory at Cheltenham in the 2 m grade 1 Supreme novice hurdle, beating Ballyadam 24 l. He is bred to stay further than 2 miles, so it will be interesting to see where he ends up over fences, but it seems current plans are over 2m with the Arkle the aim.
