Second reserve; won a maiden point for Colin Bowe at Portrush during the autumn campaign; third in that event was Jack Hyde who made headlines when John Reddington rode him to a Newcastle bumper win; strong French pedigree includes the names of Zainta (dam of good jumpers Zaidpour and Zaynar) and leading French hurdler Zaiyad; deserves respect. |

Doyen gelding belied market weakness (28-1) when quite impressive debut winner of Thurles bumper last month, coming off pace with good turn of foot inside final furlong to beat an odds-on shot to win going away (soft); dam related to some decent staying types so should stay well and interesting now sent hurdling.
