Velvet Elvis

10st 5lb

J: Gavin Sheehan

T: John C McConnell

Peak form includes a clear second to subsequent Grand National winner Nick Rockett in Thyestes Chase at Gowran (3m1f, soft to heavy) for Gavin Cromwell in January 2025; well handicapped on that effort (even though 1lb wrong) but has looked out of sorts since (four runs; last three for this stable) and it takes a leap of faith to support him on this cross-country debut; wore cheekpieces for four of last five races; visor is tried today.

Three-time chase winner; won a 3m rated chase at Fairyhouse on his stable debut a year ago; no threat over hurdles after a 325-day absence; claimer-ridden and up with the pace throughout when an excellent second behind Nick Rockett in the Thyestes; Keith Donoghue aboard now; strong contender despite 5lb rise.
