IrishRacing.com has reported that the Ciaran Murphy-trained Enjoy D’allen has been purchased by the Limerick businessman. The eight-year-old gelding will stay in training with the Ballymore native, who took over the Charlestown training licence from Dot Love early in 2021.

“It’s huge for us that we could recommend a horse of this calibre to Mr McManus and that he will stay in training here at Charlestown,” Murphy told IrishRacing.com this morning.

“He’s in good order after his latest run over hurdles at Leopardstown and the plan is to keep him fresh and go straight to Aintree.

“He ran a cracker in the Paddy Power at Christmas and its now all about getting him to Aintree in good form.”

Enjoy D’allen, currently a 16/1 shot for the prestigious British steeplechase, was previously owned by John Scullion’s Railway View Stud Partnership.
