The 11-year-old was last seen running away with the Champion Hunters’ Chase at Stratford in June for former trainer Declan McNamara, but he was sold at Cheltenham’s Brightwells Sale on Saturday following a dispute involving his previous owners.

Bloodstock agent Gerry Hogan was happy to go to £160,000 on Connell’s behalf.
