Half-brother to stable's very smart chaser Espoir De Romay; overcame greenness to win heavy-ground Exeter bumper on debut in January and again showed his inexperience when second at Hereford (good to soft; jumped same path twice) in March; ought to make his presence felt on this hurdling debut.

Went close on his second start in Irish points in March and only beaten a neck on his hurdles/stable over C&D (heavy) 16 days ago; major chance of going one better. |

Out of a 3m2f hurdle winner; looked rather one-paced when respectable fourth of seven on bumper debut at Warwick (soft) in March but today's longer trip is likely to show him in a better light.

With a top stable and has a good pedigree but was beaten about 29l in two course bumpers last season (albeit badly hampered on second occasion); needs to take a good step forward on this hurdling debut.

Well beaten in three starts around here, the first two in bumpers and on hurdles debut over this trip (heavy) 16 days ago where he finished over 30l behind Livin On Luco; needs to improve and top stable fields a stronger candidate in Isaac Des Obeaux. |

Better effort in Irish points when a close second in March (soft ground) to a subsequent bumper winner; favourite but folded tamely after making running when sixth of nine at Chepstow (2m3f, heavy) on hurdling debut; bit to prove after that; also declared 1.44 Bangor. |
