Swelltime
Dual-purpose; 4-33 over hurdles; last won at Killarney off 4lb lower last July (20.5f, yld-sft); good ground is fine but lacks a run and overall record when fresh suggests he'll come on for this run.

From the connections
“I thought Swelltime was my best ride of the day. He's developed and matured into doing his bit, so it's nice that owners can give them a bit of time to strengthen. When they age, if they have ability they will thrive. He ran very well at Tramore last time - Seamie Heffernan, rider.”
“He might head to Galway for a 1m6f handicap on the Flat. He's a nice horse who obviously stays well. Possibly something like the Lartigue Hurdle could suit him. You can make plenty of use of him over two miles - Joe Murphy jnr, assistant to Joe Murphy, trainer of Swelltime”
“We fancied him a little, although not as much as it might seem. He's very one paced but he stays going well, and I'd say he'll jump a hurdle in time. We decided to make use of his strength which was going to be staying and he kept on well - Joe Murphy jnr, assistant and son of Joe Murphy, trainer”
