Murphy reports all well with Jewson Chase bid





Ferdy Murphy is hoping a trip to the Cheltenham Festival will not be a season too soon for the former troublesome gelding The Hollinwell.

The seven-year-old is second-favourite at around 8-1 for the Jewson Novices’ Handicap Chase after showing bags of promise in his three starts over fences.

“He was difficult to do anything with early on, he was a pure delinquent and took us a long time to get him on song,” the West Witton trainer told Sky Sports News.

“We always knew he had plenty of ability because the things he was doing to get rid of riders when we were breaking him in was amazing.

“We’ve nurtured him and let him come through slowly, then this year he’s done really well,

“He’s had his three runs and he’s won two out of three. The other one he was second to Abbeybraney, who is rated about 138.

“He’s progressed nicely. Me and Graham had a chat whether Cheltenham’s going to come a season too early for him but he will go.

“He’s worked very well and he’s in good form, so it’s fingers crossed. If he gets a bit of luck in running in the Jewson I think he’ll be there or thereabouts.”
