Form & Verdict

Fair early-career form for Andre Fabre, highlighted by a second placing over 1m1f at Chantilly; maiden hurdle winner at Killarney last month after a couple of promising runs; in contrast, no encouragement from his two Flat starts in Ireland, over 1m at Dundalk last winter and 2m at Listowel early this month.

Promise in maidens at the end of last season and beaten only a nose over C&D on return; had an excuse at the Curragh when he suffered a graze, possibly incurred when giving problems in the stalls; respectable handicap effort when fourth of 18 at Leopardstown last time; strong contender.
