Colcannon
Grade 2 bumper winner at Leopardstown the season before last, and third in the Grade 1 Champion Bumper at Punchestown; got off the mark over hurdles on fourth start at Fairyhouse; raced too keenly and paid the price when fading late into fifth in a novice contest at the Punchestown festival; capable of being in the mix in this company.

From the connections
“The whole intention after Colcannon won his bumper was to go jumping with him, but the schooling just wasn't going the way I wanted it to go. Unfortunately, he's not qualified for Cheltenham but I think he's okay for Punchestown, so we'll probably plan for that - Noel Meade.”
“Colcannon went downhill after Punchestown, he was just an immature four-year-old and he is still growing. He grew a lot over the summer. He is very hard on himself; he just races too keenly. Hopefully, now we can work on getting him to relax and he will go jumping - Noel Meade, trainer”
