Ballynaheer was purchased from the Spring 2023 Goffs UK Sale at Doncaster. He is a scopey chasing type, who had finished second in a maiden point-to-point at Edgcote, in April. During the race, he travelled well and showed a good attitude to jump to the lead at the fourth-last fence. He settled in well last season at the yard and was sent hurdling where he ran promisingly on debut at Chepstow. He then found heavy ground in the winter months wasn't to his liking. He lost his maiden tag at Huntingdon on 1st April 2023 where he made all of the running to rout his rivals, jumping well and winning comfortably by seven lengths. This was a memorable day for first-time racehorse owner, David Purvis. Ballynaheer will undoubtedly make a fine chaser in time and we look forward to sending him over fences in the autumn.
