Brother to stable's very useful hurdler Kateira and half-brother to smart chaser El Presente; travelled strongly before quickening clear of a next-time-out winner on bumper debut at Market Rasen (good to soft) in April and looks a very good prospect for novice hurdles this season.

45,000euros foal; seventh foal; brother to the stable's useful bumper and hurdle winner Kateira, half-brother to three winners including El Presente (2m3f-3m1f hurdle/chase; RPR 152) and Blairs Cove (2m-2m5f; 130); in top hands and no surprise if he has a big say on debut.
