Half-brother to very useful Vision Des Flos; dam half-sister to high-class chaser Balko Des Flos; encouraging hurdles debut at Leopardstown over Christmas and just denied in much weaker 2m4f Fairyhouse contest following month; better again upped in trip when chasing home a smart pair over 3m at Thurles on latest; jumping still novicey but looks the one to beat here with cheekpieces tried.
