‘We bought her as a top-class mare’ – Three Henry de Bromhead horses to follow
Henry de Bromhead is one of Ireland’s finest trainers and he almost always delivers at the Cheltenham Festival. He has another formidable squad of horses for the season and he should go well once again. We’ve selected three horses to follow from his recent stable tour. Take a look at our free tips page for daily content across British and Irish racing.
Echoing Silence
One for Honeysuckle’s owner Kenny Alexander, Echoing Silence is a very promising mare who has already shown lots of ability. Her trainer said: “She’s lovely. She came back from her holidays this year twice the mare she was. She really filled out her frame. We were delighted with her win in a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Cork. We bought her as a top-class mare and hopefully she will develop into that.”
Forty Coats
This horse was a bit of a surprise package at Cheltenham and he ran a very nice race to finish fourth in the Turners at Cheltenham. A campaign over fences beckons and he’s one to look forward to. The trainer said: “He’s still a couple of weeks off a run, but we’ll aim for a beginners’ chase and see from there. I was delighted with his run in the Turners when fourth to The New Lion. We knew he was a good horse. He got a bit outpaced and then stayed on really well. He looked a stayer that day.”
Gameball
The son of Yeats could be one of his trainer’s better novice hurdlers this season and he won his maiden well. Henry de Bromhead said: “He came well recommended from the Slatterys, who won a bumper with him. We were delighted with his maiden hurdle win at Punchestown. He was really impressive and jumped and travelled really well. We’ll try to get him to settle a little better and then I’d say he’ll probably go for the Royal Bond.”
