Form & Verdict

Bought for £300,000 after his point win at Borris House in December; runner-up from that race ran respectably in a bumper at Doncaster last week; half-brother to winners Horocio Apple's (2m4f-2m7f hurdle/chase) and Le Sete Boy (French 2m4f/2m5f chase); dam French 2m2f chase winner, half-sister to the dam of high-class 2m-3m hurdler Apple's Jade; big player on rules debut for yard in flying form.
