Sphagnum
Lost his form badly after winning the Cork National in 2024 and is hard to fancy on recent poor hurdle runs; blinkers replace cheekpieces.

From the connections
“Sphagnum went to sleep at Sligo and a mistake at Killarney cost him. The cheekpieces made a difference, so did bouncing out handy and he did it well. He could be competitive in a better handicap off a low weight - Denis O'Regan, rider.”
“Sphagnum wants really good ground which is why I kept him wide and he jumped well. He will jump a fence - Denis O'Regan, rider”
