Definite promise in all four hurdle starts over a variety of trips and ground; beaten 10l at Clonmel on handicap debut last time off 113 (2m7f, yielding); O'Keeffe chooses Some Song from stable's two representatives.

Handicap debutant from top yard; definite promise in all three starts at 2m-2m7f on testing and good to yielding ground; could be on a workable mark; should go well.

J: Darragh O’Keeffe

Beaten 27l on debut at Naas in testing ground but a much better effort on a sound surface at Leopardstown since; if handling this ground then a repeat of the latter effort would make him difficult to beat with a hood added.

Fourth of 16l but beaten 27l in a 2m maiden at Naas in early November when the ground was soft to heavy; may do better under these conditions but Darragh O'Keefe rejects him for Forty Coats.

One of two for trainer; fourth foal; half-brother to 2m hurdle/chase winner Raffles Gitane; dam smart 2m-2m4f hurdle/chase winner, half-sister to 4m2f Grand Pardubice winner Tzigane Du Berlais, out of half-sister to French 2m2f Listed hurdle winner Baraka Du Berlais; wears first-time tongue tie for debut and notable connections, so strength in the market would be noteworthy.
