Much too good for Boycetown at Punchestown (soft to heavy; first run in a tongue-tie that's been retained) and, although his bubble was burst to some extent at Leopardstown (heavy), he did get noticeably warm beforehand and probably wasn't seen to best effect held up off modest fractions; can do better, and probably a lot better.

Cost 160,000euros as a 3yo; half-brother to a winning French hurdler; dam useful 2m/2m2f hurdler/chaser; two runs have been at Punchestown, chasing home an all-the-way winner at the festival in early May and handled testing conditions well when tongue-tied in late November, patiently produced against far rail to win going away from a subsequent Down Royal winner; smart prospect who should go well.

By a leading French sire and cost Eur160,000 as a 3yo; started 5/1 for a Punchestown festival bumper in May and ran well to be a 6l runner-up; the winner was recently second in a maiden hurdle back here; tongue-tie added on return and should go close.
