14th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Useful French Flat winner (10.5f, good) who returned from a long layoff to make his hurdle debut at Leopardstown in December, and improved a bundle from that run when easily winning a maiden at Punchestown (2m, soft); this is a much tougher task and others have achieved more (including his three stablemates) but he was impressive last time and the ceiling of his ability could lie at a lofty level; wears a first-time tongue-tie; not ruled out each-way. |

Bumper winner who got his sole Flat win at the Galway festival two years ago; fine run back at Galway this year when second of 20 (2m1f, yielding); not a bad run at Killarney following that when behind Ragmans Corner and Pinot Gris but was well beaten behind a lot of these in the Irish Cesarewitch last time; needs more. |

Campaigned mostly over hurdles since joining Adrian Keatley; was booked for second-place (at best) when taking a late fall at Southwell three weeks ago; switches back to the Flat in a newly applied visor; was previously effective on the AW at Dundalk, but difficult to know what to expect. |
