Form & Verdict
Out of an unraced half-sister to a useful French jumper; kept on well to win two-finisher Irish point (soft to heavy) by 6l on debut last February, after which he changed hands for £105,000; it's hard to gauge what his form is worth but he's joined a good stable for his rules career; interesting.
