On His Own

On His Own fell in both the 2012 and 2013 runnings of the Crabbie’s Grand National.

He Went down by a short-head to Lord Windermere in the 2014 Cheltenham Gold Cup, and is a dual winner of the Thyestes Chase at Gowran Park – scoring impressively in 2012 and 2014.

Returned to form when just touched off by stablemate Boston Bob in Grade 2 Bobbyjo Chase at Fairyhouse on February 20th, but finished a well-beaten eighth behind Don Cossack in the Cheltenham Gold Cup last time out.

Jumps race record

On His Own is a classy sort and stays really well. Has a decent strike rate over fences, but is not getting any younger and is yet to complete in two Grand National attempts.

Starts: 11
Wins: 4
2nd: 4
3rd: 2
Career win and place prize money: £33,866
