Form & Verdict
Point' winner was long odds-on to win a Punchestown bumper on debut but was disqualified for interference after passing the post in front; made no mistake at Galway since and the 3rd that day has shown smart hurdle form; carries a penalty but can go close.

Kept on well to win eight-runner point on debut back in April 2022; bought for £150,000 and he's a brother to French winners Fashion Baie (2m2f-2m3f hurdle) & Dilable D'Auteuil (2m2f hurdle); point form hasn't worked out particularly well but he could be a big improver on debut for this yard.
