Vent too classy for Ballinrobe rivals

He certainly didn't throw his best leap of the race at the second last in the Monroe's Live Rated Novice Chase, but it was soon apparent that Vent De La Cote (11/8 into 11/10 on track and from bigger earlier) had too much for his rivals in the Ballinrobe's fifth event. Fri 15th Apr

After race at Naas Sat, 10th Feb, 2018 (1st)

He's had his problems but I've had my own problems. I was out for about three months after a young horse came back on top of me at Spanish Point and I was in a wheelchair for a while. I want to thank Ciara Daffy who did a lot with him when I was out. She was out in all weather, and also my father as well,. That would have been his last run today if things didn't work out. We decided to drop him back in trip because the ground was testing and to be fair Cathal gave him a grand ride. He might go to Leopardstown now over three miles. I have four in training at the moment.

"It's his first run in a handicap so we are going into the unknown a bit with him and he definitely likes better ground. He won a big hurdle of 119 though so he might not be badly treated over fences off 121 but that hurdle run was on nice ground and he hasn't really shown his hurdle form over fences. He was off for a year so you just wonder if he is going to come back to be the same horse but if he ran well in what is his first handicap we'd be delighted,"

Daniel John Howard

After race at Thurles Thu, 22nd Dec, 2011 (1st)

He had a good run at Punchestown last time,. He won his point-to-point by 15 lengths. We'll play it by ear with him.
