She loves the heavy ground and it’s great get another win out of her. She did it very well and Kevin is great value for the 7lb. It’s great for the lads (Tallys Bar Syndicate which includes Hector O hEochagain). They are all away today but enjoy their racing and are good owners to have. She might sneak into the Fred Winter now. We might look at that and if the ground came up soft at Cheltenham you wouldn’t know what might happen.

After race at Punchestown Thu, 13th Nov, 2025 (1st)
Sopelana loves the heavy ground but disappointed in Down Royal the last day. The strong gallop probably didn’t suit her whereas she got a chance early-on today and Jordan gave her a great ride. She finished out the race well. She was very lowly rated on the Flat so I didn’t expect her to win two three-year-old hurdles. We may now go for a black type race in England on soft ground.
