2019 Smoking Gun 6 11-12 J J Slevin 7/2 (Joseph Patrick O'Brien)



I'm delighted with that. He seemed to really enjoy himself and jumped really well. Rachael said he was brave at the first couple, a bit fresh, but once he settled down into it he seemed to be loving it. His two jumps up the side, four out and three out, were really good. He seems really nice and a real three miler. Hopefully he'll come on a bit from that as well. He's in the race at Leopardstown over Christmas (Grade 1 Neville Hotels Novice Chase). His owner Peter Davies is based in England so the race at Kempton (Grade 1 Kauto Star Novice Chase) is another option although both races might come a bit soon. There is a Grade 3 in Naas in the New Year over that trip and that might be the more sensible one. We'll weigh it up and see.
