The only thing I can think of is going up in trip. He ran over two-and-a-half at Sligo one day where he made a bad mistake and should have won. He works like a good horse at home and we always knew he kept a bit for himself on the Flat. His jumping was letting him down earlier on his career as well. He got a few terrible falls and I'd say he lost his confidence as well. We ran him in a few claimers and put him in for E8,000 and we just said if he goes, he goes. I kept telling the lads to get rid of him. He hadn't won since March of 2023 and I just told them to get something else. I knew he had ability and I said to bring him somewhere else either, to see would that work. Thank God neither of those options came to pass!. He is a lovely horse at home and any kid could ride him. He is just a pure rogue. He is handicapped over fences and can go back to Dundalk for those two-mile races as well. He won very easy today so maybe he will go to the next grade over hurdles. There is loads of options for him.
Gerard Keane, trainer

Owing to the low lying sun, the Raceday Stewards granted permission for hurdle number four to be omitted from race six
The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Spellacy's Cross, trained by James M
Barcoe, at the request of the Raceday Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal
The Raceday Stewards reviewed an incident coming down the hill involving Seeitoldya (GB), ridden by D
Meyler, placed fifth, Rose Boum (FR), ridden by E. Staples, fell, and Spellacy's Cross, ridden by K. Callaghan, placed sixth, where it appeared Spellacy's Cros received contact from both sides. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the matter, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that no further action was warranted.
An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards (110 = 11st 12lbs)
Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.
