French Flat winner who has hung right and occasionally been inclined to jump that way; sets a clear standard on either of his last two placed efforts at about 2m4f, though, and there won't be any excuses dropping back in distance.

Won 1m5f AQPS event at Vichy last spring and in the second of two hurdle runs at Auteuil (2m1f, very soft) in September he had two behind him who have gone on to better things; sold 120,000euros in September; goes without his usual hood/tongue-tie; very interesting for yard that's 27% at Taunton in the last five years.

Not disgraced in two slow-ground hurdles this year (2m/2m1f) and could plausibly be seen to better effect on this quicker surface but low-grade handicaps are probably next on his agenda.
