Ballygrifincottage was pulled up in both starts after winning at Haydock last November but has had wind surgery over the summer. COMPLETE UNKNOWN has also had a wind operation since last seen but he ended the last campaign with a second in a Grade 1 at Aintree and has a bright future over fences. Might I has plenty of ability but hasn’t been easy to train and tackles the larger obstacles for the first time.
