KITTEN Rock is a rising star in the National Hunt ranks, and although his 12-length victory in the Grade 2 Red Mills Trial Hurdle at Gowran Park last Saturday did not tell us anything new about him, it would be very interesting to see how he might get on in next month’s Grade 1 Stan James Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham.

He is currently available in the general 25/1 to 33/1 range for that race, there is also an Easter Monday Grade 2 contest at Fairyhouse under consideration for him, and trainer Edward O’Grady indicated last week that the five-year-old could go chasing next season.
