Put The Kettle On, who has also won an Arkle Trial and a Grade 2 Schloer Chase at Cheltenham, hasn’t won in two starts this season but will cross the Irish Sea in good form, according to John.

“Even though she was third, Henry felt she ran a better race in this season’s Shloer Chase than she did when she won it and she just didn’t enjoy going right-handed at Fairyhouse last time.

“She’s had a good freshen up at Henry’s and he’s very happy with her. It’s just a case of watching the weather and deciding on the best race to go for. Whatever she runs in, Aidan Coleman will almost certainly ride her as they have a very good understanding,” adds John.

When One For Luck Racing paid just 22,000 euros for Put The Kettle On at Goffs Sales in Ireland in 2017, they couldn’t have imagined she would become a dual Cheltenham Festival winner, amassing over £400,000 in prize money.

“It’s hard to put it into words what she means to us all,” says John. “My uncle Tom Dermody started the syndicate but sadly passed away soon after we bought her but every time she wins we raise a glass to his memory.

“My mum Mary, brother Michael, sister Helen and Keith Phelan, who manages our family farm, share her with me and she has definitely become part of the family.

“She was wild in the sales ring when we bought her which is probably why we got her for such a small price,” recalls John. “As she was a bit of a handful and hard to manage we had her on the farm and living out in the field with our donkey Ned was a calming influence.

“She very quickly showed a lot of ability but when Henry told us he wanted to aim her at the Arkle after she won the trial we thought he was joking. We never dreamed we would have a Festival winner but she’s done it twice already and as she’s only eight we’re hoping there are a few more chapters still to come.”
