Form & Verdict

Stablemate of Cousin Pascal; very productive in points and hunter chases since last spring, winning six of his seven starts during that period; easily justified favouritism at Taunton (2m7f, soft) most recently and is open to further progress in this sphere; viewed as an Aintree Foxhunters' prospect by his trainer; very appealing.
