Dual bumper winner and looks capable of winning on the Flat, coming from further back than the winner when second over 1m4f here in April; should be sharper for a recent comeback run at Newcastle and enters calculations.

Half-brother to winners Rock De Baune (useful dual purpose) and Feel Like De Baune (point/bumper); didn't live up to market expectations at Carlisle (heavy; 5-1) in March but he ran green in the testing conditions that day; should know much more this time and it wouldn't be a surprise if he left his debut form behind.

Inconsistent over fences since last summer but won over 2m4f in the autumn and went very close over 3m1f in April (also on good ground); taken off his feet in a strongly run race last time and now reverts to hurdling in first-time cheekpieces; big player if on a going day.

Form & Verdict
80,000euros half-brother to a French hurdle winner; finished down the field when favourite at Warwick (good) last month but he ran into trouble at a crucial stage and did shape with promise in that race; hood now goes on but he sets the standard on his initial form and top yard has 40% record in bumpers here in recent years; key player.
