Jerry Hannon had an unfortunate slip of the tongue on Irish Grand National day at Fairyhouse as Monkfish returned to a racecourse for the first time in almost two years.
The two-time Cheltenham Festival winner impressed in his first run for 713 days as he finished second to stablemate Asterion Forlonge in the Rathbarry & Glenview Studs Hurdle at Fairyhouse.
But Hannon mistakenly called Monkfish something else during the 2m4f Grade 2 contest at the Co Meath venue.
