11st 12lb |
Runner-up in the Grade 1 Punchestown Champion Bumper in 2022 and went one better in that same race last season; was a bit disappointing when fourth of 17 in a Leopardstown maiden on belated hurdle bow and was tailed off having jumped poorly behind Kopek Des Bordes; big player if he can get to the level of his bumper form. |

Clearly has not been the easiest to train; leading bumper horse over a period of more than two years, snaring a deserved Grade 1 at Punchestown last season; probably raced too keenly on his belated hurdles debut here at Christmas; this is a big step up but he has the bumper form. |

11st 10lb |
Failed to win over hurdles, second in three of his six starts; has developed into a better chaser; bolted up at Fairyhouse, form franked by the second Moudan in winning at Ayr; 11lb rise means that he has plenty to find in a renewal of Leopardstown rivalry with Raffles Dolce Vita. |

2-2 in French bumpers; 2-10 and rated 130 over hurdles; fine second in Grade 2 novice hurdle at Chepstow (19.5f, good) in October; tailed off in rated hurdle when last seen at Fairyhouse in November; that was too bad to be true and his dam won over fences so could improve for switch to chasing but stamina to prove for this trip. |
