£70,000 3yo; third foal; half-brother to bumper/2m-2m3f hurdle winner Nina The Terrier; dam bumper winner, half-sister to 2m-2m5f hurdle/high-class chase winner God's Own and bumper/useful 2m-2m5f hurdle/chase winner Working Title; interesting newcomer and looks the stable first string.

Form & Verdict

Placed in two Irish points (on testing ground) and the winner last time has since made the frame in an Irish bumper; joined a good yard and needs respecting.
