Doyle dreaming of Cheltenham with Will
Willitgoahead justified his short price when running out an easy winner of the concluding hunters chase at Thurles. Sun 19th Jan
O'Brien eyes Cheltenham for Con's Roc
Con's Rock made a winning transition to the racecourse in Limerick's maiden hunters chase. Sun 29th Dec
After race at Thurles Sun, 19th Jan, 2025 (1st)
Maybe we bumped into a very good horse in Limerick but he caught us by surprise then as he had a good blow and it was the first race he had all winter. He had been winning his races easily until then and we were expecting to do that today. He came to himself this year, has really matured and is a good ride and jumps really well. I think he is now getting down to racing and can improve again. He loved the better ground. We are dreaming about this lad for a while and hopefully we will now head on to Cheltenham and take our chances. We have options though and could wait for Aintree, but we'll see. I think this might be the year for him as I can't see a top-class Open horse coming back: the best one I've seen is Big Interest, who won a point to point for me but needs soft ground. If the ground came up good, we would be fancying our chances at Cheltenham.
