The best horse trained by Ruby Walsh that i can recall. Was placed in Dessert Orchid's Irish National and think he also won a big 3m chase at Leopardstown. Findus/Harold Clarke?

Roc de Prince was also a useful 3m chaser,beat Cahervillahow in a Thyestes, but imo Barney was better and as you said above could have been top class but for his injury.

Owned by Paddy Donovan from Knockshegowna a good North Tipperary man.They skipped Cheltenham as a novice incurring the wrath of Terry Rogers who appeared on television saying the meeting was ruined because our best novice wasn`t running.

Just found the racecard from the day he won the Findus Anniversary Hurdle (2m6f) at Leopardstown on December 28th, 1987. Brendan Sheridan rode him and the first prize was IR£10,350.
