Form & Verdict

Half-brother to three winners inc Mind The Crack (11.6f/1m4f; RPR 97) and Mackenberg (bumper and 2m-2m5f hurdle/chase); dam placed in Germany, half-sister to French 2,000 Guineas/French Derby winner Brametot; runner-up on all three starts (soft-to-heavy), in Fairyhouse academy hurdle in November and in Naas bumpers came late to chase home a ready 9l winner and ridden handier when outpaced by a 3.5l winner Coole Cafe last month; considered but a couple of these may have more scope for improvement.
