Lord Roco (GB)

Lord Roco is a striking dark bay gelding.   He was purchased in Ireland from Bryan Murphy - the same source as Lord Wishes one of our stable stars. He was broken in over there and joined the stables last season on Bryan's recommendation which we value highly having known him for many years. He had one run in a Bumper at Carlisle where everything went against him a bit with heavy rain and he was still pretty green about it all.   He had a fright at the tapes but still stayed on eye-catchingly up the hill.   He no doubt has an engine as we have seen at home as he is one of our best work horses and he will be brought in and prepared for another Bumper.    He jumps exceptionally well and  could be something really special as has it all - looks, class, pedigree and ability. Now that he has been in the stable a season we have learned a lot about him as well so will be ready to crack on this time. He has done very well at grass and will be in shortly.
