Off the mark in April in his third bumper (good ground) and back with a 6l win on hurdles debut (2m, good to soft) three weeks ago, both at Huntingdon; travelled strongly in the latter and asserted stylishly, but this is much more demanding company.
Second in an Irish point in March and sold for 110,000 the following month; 5-1 for six-runner novice at Exeter (2m, good) five weeks ago on rules debut, with little difficulty going on by nearly 4l in the closing stages, so he looks an exciting prospect.
200,000 buy soon after justifying favouritism in an Irish point (3m, yielding) in March; 5-6 for six-runner novice at Lingfield (extended 2m3f, good to soft) one month ago and brushed his rival aside in impressive fashion from approaching the final flight; that's not the best form in this field but he looks the type to make major progress.
Won at Galway (yielding) in October in his third bumper and looked a good prospect when making all in a 16-runner maiden at Thurles (2m, yielding to soft) three weeks ago on his second start over hurdles; one to note.
Placed in his three bumpers (one on soft) for Paul Nicholls; 11-2 for six-runner novice hurdle at Kempton (2m, good) on debut for new yard 18 days ago and there was lots like in the way he went 3l ahead on the run-in; the next three home were all hurdle winners and the form has to be strong.
half-brother to useful Go Dante; runner-up in a Listed junior bumper here (soft) on debut on New Year's Day; successful in small fields for a bumper at Kempton (good to soft) in February and novice hurdle at Ffos Las (2m, soft; by a neck at 4-9) in November, form which requires plenty of improvement at today's level but he is on the up.
No win after a point, five Irish bumpers and three hurdle races in 2024 for this yard; placed on first two starts in this sphere, before tailed off at Cheltenham last November and he's not been seen since; this is a tough race on his return to action.
Went close in a bumper before Newbury win (2m, soft) on hurdling debut in January, both for Emma Lavelle; built on that with a clearcut win at Taunton (2m, good) in March for new yard; had wind surgery in September and also now has his tongue tied; promising but this race is much more of a test.
Irish point winner whose bumper performances last season included a Listed win at Market Rasen and third of 20 in Grade 2 at Aintree; 7l winner at evens of a maiden at Chepstow (2m4f, again good to soft) from the front on hurdling debut five weeks ago and the next two home both won next time; that suggests she's a leading contender.
Irish point winner before 70,000 sale; modest since, however, in a bumper at Hexham and 2m mares' novice hurdles at Newbury and Wetherby; best watched until she goes handicapping.
