Impressive winner at Auteuil (2m2f, very soft) on debut for Gabriel Leenders in October; beaten favourite behind Proactif on first start for Willie Mullins in a 4yo hurdle at Fairyhouse (2m, yielding); pulled up after a bad mistake at the fourth in the Triumph; back on track when beaten a neck by Proactif in Grade 2 at Fairyhouse (2m, yld-sft); in the mix with a repeat of that.

T: W P Mullins

Easy winner of his only hurdle run in France; inexperience evident when chasing home Proactif here in January (yielding; finished his race off well); only 12-1 for the Triumph and yet all hopes went west with a bad mid-race blunder after which he was pulled up; remains very promising.

J: Brian Hayes

T: W P Mullins

Comfortable winner at Auteuil (2m2f, very soft) in October in his only French race; narrowly favourite from Proactif in eight-runner race at Fairyhouse (yielding) two months ago on Irish debut but had to settle for second behind that stablemate, beaten nearly 3l having chased the leaders but disputed the lead at the final flight; showed his inexperience and could be more polished with the benefit of that run.

One of two for trainer; half-brother to 2m1f hurdle/3m1f chase winner Invictus Machin; dam twice-raced half-sister to winners Le Chablis (2m6f Grade 1 chase) and Feroe (2m4f Listed chase; dam of high-class chaser Le Mercurey); comfortable winner at Auteuil in October and now makes his Irish debut; a best priced 14-1 for the Triumph Hurdle and towards the top of the list along with Proactif.
