On Thursday Norah completed a deal which sees high class hurdler Fleetwood Rocker joining the kennel strength. Fleetwood Rocker (who will soon benefit from a name change to Fleetwood Mac) finished second in his semi-final of this year’s Springbok – the leading juvenile hurdle of the season.

Unfortunately he wasn’t able to take his place in the final due to a minor foot injury.

The blue dog arrived from Ireland, following two days in transit and will be given a restful week or so to allow him to settle in and acclimatise.

The plan is for a campaign in top class hurdle events, taking in the Grand National and Champion Hurdle at Wimbledon in the coming months.
