Purchased privately from Ireland after winning a point to point this strapping bold jumping horse was always going to make a better chaser than hurdler.

After a quiet start to his career he came into his own by winning 3 chases in the bounce during his novice year being heavily backed each time and including a £50k final at Haydock which he qualified for when bolting up at Sandown with one of the finest jumping rounds you’ll see as a novice.

Five star rose 40lb in the weights with his brilliant trainer overseeing huge improvement. He didn’t stop there though and again won easily at Kempton in a £50k chase beating a strong field (form worked out well) at the prestigious King George meeting over the Christmas period.

He starts this season only 2lb higher than his last win and we would again hope to see him in the winners enclosure as the season progresses.
