Is 1-9 over hurdles; last sighted in May beating a subsequent two-time winner in a beginners' chase at Downpatrick (19.5f, good); sole win over timber came in November of last year off 90 on soft at Cork (2m); seems best going right handed and might need this on his return from 127 days off. |

Third reserve; Soldier Of Fortune gelding cost 13,000Euros as a yearling and 31,000Euros as a 3yo; dam French 1m3f winner (RPR 75), half-sister to French winners inc Arch Duchess (useful 9.5f Flat/2m1f and 2m2f hurdle) & Just Move On (1m6f Flat/2m1f-2m4f hurdle/chase); yard among the winners of late so worth a market check if getting a run. |
