Ollie La Ba Ba
Won second race over hurdles when landing a handicap at Listowel (2m2f, gd-yld) in September; below best twice since, in a handicap chase at Clonmel and a handicap hurdle on heavy at Limerick in December; off since and record fresh suggests he might need this run.

From the connections
“It was brilliant. Jodie [Townend, jockey] is a huge asset in these races and she gave Ollie La Ba Ba a peach and got him up where it mattered. I probably had a different horse in mind for her. I thought Tinking Man was really solid coming here, but when he got balloted out, I wasn't going to lose Jodie so we switched around. We're having one of those weeks and it is bouncing our way - Eoin McCarthy, trainer.”
