Half-sister to six winners, including Chart Topper and Pink In The Park for same yard; sent off short odds on bumper debut at this track in October, won cosily by 6.5l; reportedly lost action when pulled up in Listed contest at Navan 202 days ago; should bounce back after a break; form of debut win very questionable but the one to beat on hurdles debut nonetheless; yard has won last three runnings.
Comment
Well-bred bumper winner from top yard; lost action when PU lto; one to beat on hurdles bow

Useful in bumpers, scoring at tenth attempt at Kilbeggan in August, beating Red Oak by 1.25l; ran to a similar level on hurdles debut at Thurles; returned from break on stable debut to be beaten 8.5l into third by Mr Master Mac at Downpatrick 15 days ago, lack of a recent run telling after going for home early; will improve and drop in trip should suit; each-way chance in first-time hood.
Comment
Useful in bumpers; shaped nicely over hurdles after a break lto; drop in trip will suit

Quotes
"Ferrybank keeps running to his mark. He likes this place, the Curragh didn't suit him the last day. He'll win another one somewhere - Ted Walsh, trainer."
2024-06-20 - Leopardstown"Ferrybank likes to be wide and was drawn wide. He was game, pulled it out and might win another one. He gallops out well - Ted Walsh, trainer."
2024-01-26 - Dundalk (AW)"Ferrybank's form was plenty good enough to win and he probably wants seven. He broke smart from a bad draw and won well. He's a grand sound, honest horse and will win plenty of races - Ted Walsh, trainer"
