Carberry confident of bold Sublimity bid
Having won the big one at Cheltenham in 2007, his only other victory since came in the December Festival Hurdle at Leopardstown last season. He disappointed in last year’s Champion and was sent for an operation on his breathing, which appears to have worked having finished second in both the Fighting Fifth at Newcastle and the Leopardstown race he won last campaign.
“I was delighted with him in Leopardstown. I’d say the ground just took that little bit of sting out of him, that finishing speed,” said his big-race pilot. “He came out of his race well, I saw him the next morning and he was well and if we get a bit of nice ground in Cheltenham we’ll hope for a good run.
