Won twice over 2m last season and produced another respectable effort when second at Bangor in April; he was below par at Cheltenham and this mark is challenging even if he does return to his best. |

Two hurdle wins in France and won a small-field handicap at Market Rasen on British debut; progressed well afterwards in defeat and was seventh in the County Hurdle here on final appearance in March; brings plenty of potential into his chasing career.

10st 13lb |
Ex-French 5yo who is 0-5 since winning on British debut in three-runner handicap at Market Rasen (2m, soft) last February; however, there have been some encouraging runs in 2m3f/2m4f handicaps and he's hinted that he may be ideally suited by a strongly run race over a stiff 2m1f; a possible. |

Progressed well over hurdles once he joined this yard and his form in that discipline is right up there in this company; finished a well-held second on chase debut at Cork (2m4f, soft) but that was a strong-looking Grade 3 and the winner is decidedly useful; this shorter trip won't faze him (travels strongly; settles better these days) and there's lots to like about his prospects.

Progressive hurdler this year after joining this yard; ready winner at Killarney in May; creditable sixth in Galway Hurdle and a good second in a valuable handicap hurdle at Killarney in August; rated 141 over hurdles, so entitled to have a crack at this despite lack of chasing experience. |

Didn't have a lot of racing over hurdles, winning three of his seven starts; while his three rivals posted superior RPRs in that discipline, he promises to make a better chaser judged on his sound-jumping success at the expense of respected opposition at Newton Abbot (2m, heavy; fine on less taxing ground); potentially very smart.
