Six-race maiden on the Flat but he's 3-4 over hurdles and travelled strongly for a long way when close third in the Triumph at Cheltenham last month; split Maestro Conti and Selma De Vary in that race and should make another bold bid here; that last run was on soft but his second win was on good.

Ordinary maiden on the Flat; won hurdling debut at Tipperary in July, however, and has emerged as a leading juvenile hurdler for new yard with his Listed win at Wetherby (good; overcame a bad late mistake) and Triumph Trial win over C&D (good to soft; by just over 6l from Winston Junior); the latter makes him the highest-rated runner in this from a British stable.

Kept on well for 80-1 fifth in the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham (2m1f, soft) and this step up in trip could prompt further improvement; however, two starts ago this 4yo was soundly beaten by Montemares and Kosac d'Oudairies at Kelso (2m2f, good to soft) and he needs to back up his latest promise.

Dam half-sister to Gold Cup contender Envoi Allen; easy winner at Punchestown (heavy) and proved much the strongest after the final flight in Listed fillies' event at Newbury (soft) later in November; got loose on the way to the start on her third intended outing but made it a perfect 3-3 record two weeks later when making most to score at Naas (soft to heavy); the challenger she saw off last time was Tuesday's 4yo handicap winner Saratoga and this filly is one of the top two on form in this contest; stays well and should have a big say if the ground is suitable.

All his Flat racing was on AW between November 2024 and March 2025, winning by a nose in a 1m4f maiden from seven races; far more of a force over hurdles since, however, kicking off with four wins (notably a Grade 2 on heavy) and registering two Grade 2 juvenile placings before Grade 1s proved too much; often front-runner in that sphere; off five months but it will be interesting to see how loudly the market speaks for him.
