Gunsight Ridge
Smart at his best for Olly Murphy but last season never got off the ground and he's moved yards.

From the connections
“Jumping is usually Gunsight Ridge's forte. I like this lad, he's had his wind done as it's helped him. He raced well as he usually races very keen - Olly Murphy, trainer.”
“I'm delighted with that as I was worried about the ground. I left Exeter a month ago like a spoiled child as I couldn't believe we got beat. However, looking at what Venetia's horse has done we clearly bumped into a good horse and I'm not sure he really stayed either. I think Gunsight Ridge could be a horse for the spring festivals. You can get fooled with pointers that they all stay a trip, but this is a sharp horse. I don't think he really stayed and the winner is very good. This is a valuable race and it's a great one to win, and he could be one for something like the Grand Annual or the Red Rum Chase - Olly Murphy, trainer.”
