Form & Verdict
Free Port Lux gelding; cost 55,000euros as a 3yo; half-brother to four winners including Cherif De L'Isle (2m1f/2m6f hurdle) and Agence De L'Isle (French 1m5f AQPS Flat and 2m1f-2m3f hurdle/chase); dam French out of half-sister to 2m5f Listed chase winner; this looks tough for a newcomer.

No leap forward for the switch to handicaps and addition of a tongue-tie latest (retained), but this is easier than that Gowran Park 0-109; sole runner on the card for Irish trainer 1-6 here previously.
