Dennehys Cross is a well-related individual as a sibling to several multiple winners, including Kumbeshwar, who also finished second in Grade 1 company on three occasions. The Mukhadram gelding made a winning start to his career at Oldcastle, becoming the very first first-time-out winner that the stable has produced, a yard that has previously sold the subsequent six-time Grade 1-winner Shishkin in this sales ring after he had won his point-to-point. Left in the lead when two horses in front of him fell at the fourth-last fence, that will not have been ideal for a first-timer at a track like this, where it can be advantageous to have a horse to follow up the hill, however he overcame that in good style. Showing great battling qualities, he overcame a persistent challenger on the run-in, only to have to pick up again when the previously-placed short-priced favourite came with his effort on the run-in. That was a likeable effort that he is sure to come on plenty from.
